When dose reduction is necessary during the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the sorafenib dose should be reduced to two tablets of 200 mg once daily (see “Special Warnings and Precautions for Use” – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
