Capecitabine: Indication, Dosage, Side Effect

Indication:

Capecitabine is a prescription medicine used to treat several types of cancer, including colon cancer, metastatic colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, stomach (gastric) cancer, and esophageal cancer. It is also used, sometimes in combination with other drugs like docetaxel, to treat breast cancer. Capecitabine works by interfering with the growth of cancer cells, helping to slow or stop their spread in the body.

Dosage:

Capecitabine is taken by mouth, usually twice daily—once in the morning and once in the evening—about 30 minutes after a meal to help reduce stomach upset. The dose depends on your body size (body surface area) and the type of cancer being treated. Treatment is often given in cycles, such as taking the medicine for 14 days followed by a 7-day rest period to allow your body to recover. Always swallow the tablets whole, without chewing or crushing, and take them at the same times each day for the best effect.

Extra Notes:

Your doctor will adjust the dose based on how you tolerate the medicine and your blood test results.

Follow your treatment schedule carefully—do not skip or double doses.
