WHAT XELODA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Xeloda belongs to the group of medicines called "cytostatic
medicines", which stop the growth of
cancer cells. Xeloda contains capecitabine, which itself is not a
cytostatic medicine. Only after being
absorbed by the body is it changed into an active anti-cancer medicine
(more in tumour tissue than in
normal tissue).
Xeloda is used in the treatment of colon, rectal, gastric, or breast
cancers.
Furthermore, Xeloda is used to prevent new occurrence of colon cancer
after complete removal of the
tumour by surgery.
Xeloda may be used either alone or in combination with other
medicines.
