How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (capecitabine). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Capecitabine is metabolized to fluorouracil in vivo.
Both normal and tumor cells metabolize fluorouracil to 5-fluoro-2’-deoxyuridine monophosphate (FdUMP) and 5-fluorouridine triphosphate (FUTP).
Fluorouracil is subsequently metabolized by dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase to 5-fluoro-5, 6-dihydro-fluorouracil (FUH2).
Effect of Food Following administration of a meal (breakfast medium-rich in fat and carbohydrates), the mean C max and AUC 0-INF of capecitabine was decreased by 60% and 34%, respectively.

Safety of the active substance
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (capecitabine). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
WARNING: INCREASED RISK OF BLEEDING WITH CONCOMITANT USE OF VITAMIN K ANTAGONISTS Altered coagulation parameters and/or bleeding, including death, have been reported in patients taking capecitabine concomitantly with oral vitamin K antagonists, such as warfarin [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Drug Interactions (7.2) ].
- Capecitabine is contraindicated in patients with history of severe hypersensitivity reaction to fluorouracil or capecitabine [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ].
- History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to fluorouracil or capecitabine ( 4 )
Most common adverse reactions in patients who received capecitabine as a single agent for the adjuvant treatment for colon cancer ( > 30%) were palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, diarrhea, and nausea.
