Xeloda is an oral tablet made up of a cancer medication/antimetabolite called capecitabine. We carry this medication in both the brand choice and generic alternative in 150mg and 500mg!

This medication is commonly prescribed to treat colon cancer and breast or colorectal cancer that has spread to other locations of the body and may be prescribed alone or with other medications. Cancer is a group of diseases that is associated with abnormal cell growth with potential to invade or spread. Colon cancer, which is also known as colorectal cancer, begins in the large intestines (colon) as small noncancerous (benign) clumps of cells (polyps) and over time, may turn cancerous (malignant). Breast cancer begins most commonly in the milk-producing ducts when cell growth becomes abnormal; the exact cause of this is unknown. These conditions usually are not life threatening until they begin spreading to other locations of the body.

Xeloda (capecitabine) is effective at treating cancer because of its ability to interfere with the growth of cancer cells which slows their spread in the body.

Only take this medication the way that your doctor has directed you too. Taking the incorrect dose can lead to unwanted side effects, ineffectiveness, or adverse interactions; avoid taking more or less of a dose than recommended. You may need frequent medical tests during treatment as well as remaining under care of a doctor during the duration of treatment.

This medication is commonly taken twice per day with a full glass of water, 30 minutes after eating a meal; swallow the tablet whole.

This medication is usually only part of a treatment program and may include other medications as well. Usually, it is a 3 week treatment cycle, but you may only need to take medication for the first 2 weeks; ensure you are following your doctors instructions very carefully.
