Capecitabine 500 mg

Capecitabine is a medication primarily used in the treatment of various types of cancer, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and gastric cancer. It belongs to a class of drugs known as antimetabolites, which work by interfering with the growth and spread of cancer cells. Capecitabine is converted into its active form, fluorouracil (5-FU), in the body, where it inhibits the synthesis of DNA and RNA in cancer cells, leading to their death. Capecitabine is typically taken orally in tablet form.
