Xeloda (capecitabine) is an oral chemotherapy medication used to treat certain types of cancer, including colorectal cancer and breast cancer. It works by converting into 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the body, which interferes with the growth of cancer cells and slows their spread. Xeloda is typically taken in tablet form, with the dosage and treatment schedule carefully determined by a healthcare provider based on the patient’s specific cancer type, stage, and overall health. Patients using Xeloda are closely monitored to manage side effects and ensure the effectiveness of the therapy.
