Sweet Clover Overview
Sweet clover is a tall, herbaceous plant with yellow flowers that belongs to the pea family (Fabaceae). It is native to Europe and Asia, but has been introduced to many other parts of the world, including North America. There are two main species of sweet clover: Melilotus albus, which is white sweet clover, and Melilotus officinalis, which is yellow sweet clover. Sweet clover is purported to have a number of medicinal properties and has been used traditionally to treat a variety of ailments, such as respiratory problems and skin conditions. It has also been used as a phlebotonic (drug that modifies the tone of vein walls) and an antithrombotic.
Larotrectinib Overview
-
Larotrectinib is used to treat a certain type of solid tumors in adults, children, and infants 4 weeks of age and older that have spread to other parts of the body or cannot be treated successfully with surgery. This medication is used only if there are no other treatments available and the tumors have worsened after receiving other treatments. Larotrectinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that tells the cancer cells to multiply. This may help slow the growth of tumors.
