About Capecitabine
Capecitabine is an antineoplastic medicine used in chemotherapy. It is converted in the body into 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), which interferes with processes required for the growth and multiplication of cancer cells. It may be prescribed for certain cancers, including colorectal and breast cancers, depending on the individual treatment plan.
