Capecitabine Tablets USP 500 mg is an oral chemotherapy medication used to treat various types of cancer, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and gastric cancer. It is a prodrug, meaning it is converted into its active form, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), once inside the body. The active form inhibits cancer cell growth by interfering with DNA synthesis, ultimately preventing the cancer cells from multiplying.

The 500 mg dosage is typically taken twice daily, usually with food, and the treatment is often administered in cycles. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, hand-foot syndrome (pain and redness on the palms and soles), and low blood cell counts. Close monitoring by a healthcare provider is necessary during treatment to adjust dosages and manage any potential side effects.
