About CAPECITABINE
CAPECITABINE is an oral chemotherapy medication used in the treatment of various types of cancer, including colorectal, breast, and pancreatic cancer. It belongs to a class of drugs known as thymidylate synthase inhibitors, which work by interfering with the growth and spread of cancer cells.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer in patients who have failed 5-fluorouracil-based therapy
- Treatment of advanced colorectal cancer in combination with other medications
- Treatment of breast cancer in combination with other medications
- Treatment of pancreatic cancer in combination with other medications
Active Ingredient & Action
CAPECITABINE is metabolized to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), which is the active form of the drug. 5-FU works by inhibiting the enzyme thymidylate synthase, which is necessary for the production of DNA and RNA in cancer cells. This leads to the death of cancer cells and slows down the growth of tumors.
Important Notes
CAPECITABINE should only be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. Common side effects include hand-foot syndrome, diarrhea, and fatigue. Patients taking CAPECITABINE should also be aware of the risk of severe diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Regular monitoring of blood counts and liver function is recommended during treatment with CAPECITABINE.
