(ka pe site' a been)IMPORTANT WARNING:
| When used in combination with anticoagulants ('blood thinners') such as warfarin (Coumadin), capecitabine can cause serious bleeding and death. Tell your doctor if you are taking warfarin or phenprocoumon. Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests to check your response to capecitabine. If you experience any unusual bleeding or bruising, call your doctor immediately. |
About your treatment
Your doctor has ordered the drug capecitabine to help treat your illness. The drug is taken by mouth with tablets. Take capecitabine with water within 30 minutes after eating a meal.
This medication is used to treat:
- metastatic colorectal cancer
- metastatic breast cancer
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for information.
Capecitabine is in a class of drugs known as antimetabolites. Capecitabine resembles a normal cell nutrient needed by cancer cells to grow. The cancer cells take up the capecitabine, which then interferes with their growth. The length of treatment depends on the types of drugs you are taking, how well your body responds to them, and the type of cancer you have.
Precautions
Before taking capecitabine,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to a capecitabine, fluorouracil, or any other drugs.

- tell your doctor if you have or have ever had heart, liver, or kidney disease.
- women who are pregnant or breast-feeding should tell their doctors before they begin taking this drug. You should not plan to have children while receiving chemotherapy or for a while after treatments. (Talk to your doctor for further details.) Use a reliable method of birth control to prevent pregnancy.
- tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding. Capecitabine can cause serious side effects in nursing infants.
- do not have any vaccinations (e.g., measles or flu shots) without talking to your doctor.
