Overview & Usage

Overview

Capegard 500mg Tablet (Capecitabine) is an anticancer medicine used to treat metastatic colorectal and breast cancers, often along with other chemotherapy drugs. It also helps prevent cancer from returning after surgery for colon cancer.

Common side effects include loss of appetite, headache, runny nose, fever, hair thinning, and dry mouth. Your doctor may regularly check your blood counts and clotting levels during treatment. Inform your doctor if you have stomach ulcers, heart, lung, liver, kidney, or skin problems, or if you experience any allergies or unusual reactions. This medicine may also affect fertility, so discuss any concerns with your doctor.

Capegard 500mg is not suitable for children and should be avoided in people with very low blood counts, DPD enzyme deficiency, or active infections like chickenpox or shingles. It contains lactose, so people with sugar intolerance should seek medical advice before use. Take the tablet within 30 minutes after a meal. This medicine can harm an unborn baby, so it should not be used during pregnancy.


Usage
