Xeloda 500mg Tablet contains capecitabine, an antimetabolite chemotherapy medication used to treat certain types of cancer. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and multiplying. Xeloda is commonly prescribed alone or combined with other anticancer drugs to treat metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic breast cancer, and to prevent cancer recurrence in the colon after surgery.
This medication requires careful monitoring during treatment. Your doctor will regularly check your blood counts and other health markers to ensure your safety. Common side effects include loss of appetite, headache, hair loss, and dry mouth. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially liver disease, heart problems, kidney issues, stomach ulcers, lung disease, or cataracts before starting treatment.
Key points
Xeloda 500mg works by interfering with cancer cell growth at the cellular level. When you take this tablet, your body converts capecitabine into its active form called fluorouracil. This active form prevents cancer cells from making new DNA and stops them from multiplying. It disrupts cell signaling pathways, effectively halting the progression of cancer. The medication can be used as a standalone treatment or combined with other anticancer drugs like docetaxel and oxaliplatin for enhanced effectiveness.
Take Xeloda 500mg exactly as prescribed by your oncologist. Swallow the tablet whole without crushing or chewing it. Consistent timing and adherence to your dosing schedule are critical for this medication to work effectively.
