Capecitabine
CAPECITIME 500  is an oral chemotherapy medication used in the treatment of various types of cancer, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and gastric (stomach) cancer. It is an example of a prodrug, meaning it is converted into its active form in the body.
How it works:
CAPECITIME 500  is converted into 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), a cytotoxic (cell-killing) drug, by enzymes present in the tumor tissues. 5-FU is a pyrimidine analog, which means it interferes with the synthesis of DNA and RNA, essential for cell division and proliferation. By doing so, it selectively targets and inhibits rapidly dividing cancer cells, leading to their death.
Indications:
CAPECITIME 500  is commonly used in the treatment of the following cancers:
Breast cancer: It may be prescribed for both early-stage breast cancer and metastatic breast cancer, either as adjuvant therapy (after surgery) or for advanced disease.
Colorectal cancer: CAPECITIME 500  is used in the treatment of colorectal cancer, either alone or in combination with other chemotherapy agents.
Gastric cancer: It is used in the treatment of advanced or metastatic gastric cancer as part of a combination regimen.
Dosage and administration:
The dosage and treatment schedule of CAPECITIME 500 depend on the specific type of cancer being treated, the patient's overall health, and individual response to the medication. It is usually taken orally in the form of tablets and is often administered in cycles, with a certain number of days of treatment followed by a period of rest. This helps to allow the body to recover between treatment cycles.
Side effects:
As with any chemotherapy, CAPECITIME 500  can cause side effects, which can range from mild to severe. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, hand-foot syndrome (palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia), and myelosuppression (a decrease in blood cell counts). Hand-foot syndrome is characterized by redness, swelling, and pain on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.
