থেরাপিউটিক ইঙ্গিত:

Fluorouracil is indicated for the treatment of patients with: 1.1Adenocarcinoma of the Colon and Rectum 1.2Adenocarcinoma of the Breast 1.3Gastric Adenocarcinoma 1.4Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma  None. Pregnancy Category D Risk Summary  There are no adequate and well-controlled studies with fluorouracil in pregnant women. Based on its mechanism of action, fluorouracil can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Administration of fluorouracil to rats and mice during selected periods of organogenesis, at doses lower than a human dose of 12 mg/kg, caused embryolethality and teratogenicity. Malformations included cleft palate and skeletal defects. In monkeys, maternal doses of fluorouracil higher than an approximate human dose of 12 mg/kg resulted in abortion. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, apprise the patient of the potential hazard to a fetus [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)].
