About КАПЕВІСТА

КАПЕВІСТА is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Capecitabine, a chemotherapy drug used in the treatment of certain types of cancer. It is a prodrug that is converted into 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the body, which is then activated to produce its therapeutic effects.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, including as a first-line treatment in combination with other medications.
• Treatment of advanced breast cancer, including as a first-line treatment in combination with other medications.
• Treatment of metastatic breast cancer in patients who have not received prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease.

Active Ingredient & Action

Capecitabine works by inhibiting thymidylate synthase, an enzyme involved in DNA synthesis. This leads to the formation of DNA breaks and ultimately, cell death. The drug is selectively toxic to rapidly dividing cancer cells, while sparing normal cells.

Important Notes

КАПЕВІСТА should only be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. Common side effects include hand-foot syndrome, diarrhea, and fatigue. Patients should be monitored for signs of toxicity, such as neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and gastrointestinal symptoms. It is essential to follow the recommended dosage and administration schedule to minimize the risk of adverse effects.
