Overview Capebel DT Tablet

Doxorubicin and Capecitabine tablets are indicated for breast, colorectal, and rectal cancer. Other uses may be prescribed by your oncologist. This combination therapy, administered with or without additional medications, is part of a chemotherapy regimen. Consume the tablets with food, within 30 minutes post-meal. Dosage and frequency are determined by your doctor, based on your specific condition and may be adjusted. Strict adherence to the prescribed regimen is vital; incorrect usage or overdose may lead to severe adverse effects. Therapeutic benefits may take weeks or months to manifest; discontinue only under physician guidance. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, weakness, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea. A reduction in white blood cell count, increasing infection risk, is possible. Regular blood tests monitoring white blood cell count, liver function, kidney function, and uric acid levels are essential. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing liver or kidney disease, or concurrent use of anti-infective medications before initiating treatment. Potential interactions exist with numerous other drugs; disclose all medications currently being used. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation. Reliable contraception is crucial for both partners throughout the treatment period to prevent conception.
