WHAT CAPECITABINE TEVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Capecitabine Teva belongs to the group of medicines called "cytostatic
medicines", which stop the
growth of cancer cells. Capecitabine Teva 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).
Capecitabine Teva is used in the treatment of colon, rectal, gastric,
or breast cancers. Furthermore,
Capecitabine Teva is used to prevent new occurrence of colon cancer
after complete removal of the
tumour by surgery.
Capecitabine Teva may be used either alone or in combination with
other medicines.
