Product Description

Capegard 500 Tablet is used in the treatment of cancer of breast, colon, and rectum. It may be also used to treat other conditions, as determined by the doctor. It is used alone or in combination with some other medicine as a part of chemotherapy.

Capegard 500 Tablet should be taken with food within 30 minutes after eating a meal. Your doctor will decide what dose is necessary and how often you need to take it. This will depend on what you are being treated for and may change from time to time. You should take it exactly as your doctor has advised. Taking it in the wrong way or taking too much can cause very serious side effects. It may take several weeks or months for you to see or feel the benefits but do not stop taking it unless your doctor tells you to.

The most common side effects of this medicine include vomiting, weakness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. This medicine may reduce the number of blood cells (decrease white blood cells) in your blood, thereby, increasing the susceptibility to infections. Regular blood tests are required to check your blood cells along with heart, liver, and blood uric acid levels.

Before taking it, tell your doctor if you have liver, or kidney problems or are taking any medicines to treat infections. Many other medicines can affect, or be affected by, this medicine so let your doctor know all medications you are using. This medicine is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. The use of effective contraception by both males and females during treatment is important to avoid pregnancy.

How Capegard 500 Tablets Work

Capegard 500 Tablets use capecitabine, a prodrug which is converted in the body to 5-fluorouracil, disrupting the DNA synthesis of cancer cells. This action inhibits cancer growth, making it effective against colorectal and breast cancer. Optimal absorption and bioavailability (approximately 40%) are achieved when taken orally, as directed by a healthcare professional.

Patient-Friendly Oral Chemotherapy

Unlike intravenous chemotherapy, Capegard 500 Tablets offer the convenience of oral administration, allowing patients to take their medication at home. This can reduce the need for frequent hospital visits and improve treatment compliance. Always follow your oncologist's instructions for dosage, timing, and duration.

Safe Usage and Handling Instructions

To ensure efficacy and safety, store Capegard 500 Tablets at temperatures not exceeding 30C, away from light and moisture. Avoid usage during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless your doctor advises otherwise. Take only under medical supervision due to the potent anti-cancer action and potential side effects.

FAQ's of Capegard 500 Tablets:

Q: What are the benefits of using Capegard 500 Tablets over intravenous chemotherapy?

Q: What precautions should I follow before and during Capegard 500 therapy?

A: Do not use Capegard 500 Tablets during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless your physician specifically advises. Regular monitoring may be necessary, and it is important to report any side effects to your doctor promptly. Use only under strict medical supervision.

Q: How long can I keep Capegard 500 Tablets before they expire?
