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