It belongs to a class of medicines known as antimetabolite chemotherapy drugs that work by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body.Xeloda is designed to be converted into 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) inside the body, a substance that interferes with the DNA production of cancer cells, preventing them from multiplying. Because the drug becomes active mainly inside tumor cells, it helps target cancer more effectively.These tablets are usually taken twice daily after meals and the dosage is determined by a healthcare professional depending on the patient’s medical condition, body surface area, and treatment plan. Xeloda may be used alone or in combination with other chemotherapy medicines to improve treatment outcomes.
