Capcitab 150 mg (Capecitabine) Tablets – Precision Oral Chemotherapy Solution
Overview
Capcitab 150 mg contains Capecitabine, an innovative oral chemotherapy medication that transforms cancer treatment by offering patients a convenient and effective alternative to traditional intravenous chemotherapy. This lower-dose formulation provides oncologists with greater flexibility in treatment protocols, enabling more precise dosing adjustments based on patient needs. Distributed globally by Saif Pharma, Capcitab 150 mg represents an important advancement in accessible cancer care, bringing hospital-grade treatment into patients’ homes.
Mechanism of Action
Capecitabine functions as a sophisticated prodrug that undergoes a three-step enzymatic conversion process to become the active anticancer compound 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) directly within tumor tissues. This targeted conversion process occurs through:
- Initial absorption through the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration
- Preliminary processing in the liver by carboxylesterase
- Final conversion to active 5-FU preferentially within tumor cells due to higher concentrations of thymidine phosphorylase
The active 5-FU then disrupts cancer cell growth and replication through two complementary mechanisms:
- Thymidylate Synthase Inhibition: The metabolite FdUMP (5-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine monophosphate) forms a stable complex with thymidylate synthase and folate cofactor (N5-10-methylene tetrahydrofolate). This interaction blocks the production of thymidylate, a critical precursor of thymidine triphosphate necessary for DNA synthesis, effectively halting cell division.
- RNA Function Disruption: The metabolite FUTP (5-fluorouridine triphosphate) is incorporated into RNA in place of uridine triphosphate (UTP), interfering with RNA processing and function, which compromises protein synthesis and cellular metabolism in cancer cells.
This dual mechanism makes Capcitab particularly effective against rapidly proliferating tumor cells while offering the significant advantage of targeted activation primarily within tumor tissues.
Clinical Applications
Capcitab 150 mg is indicated for the treatment of several cancer types, including:
- Metastatic breast cancer (particularly in combination with docetaxel)
- Colorectal cancer (both as adjuvant therapy and for metastatic disease)
- Advanced gastric cancer
- Pancreatic cancer (as combination therapy)
The 150 mg tablet strength provides oncologists with dosing flexibility for:
- Patients requiring lower doses due to body surface area calculations
- Individuals needing dose modifications due to side effects
- Customized treatment regimens based on specific cancer protocols
- Gradual dose escalation strategies
Dosage & Administration
Capcitab 150 mg tablets are designed for oral administration, typically given twice daily (morning and evening) within 30 minutes after meals. The specific dosing schedule is determined by healthcare providers based on individual factors including:
- Body surface area
- Specific cancer type and stage
- Overall health status and organ function
- Prior treatment history
- Concomitant medications
Treatment is usually administered in cycles with rest periods between active treatment phases. The 150 mg tablet strength can be combined with 500 mg tablets for precise dosing according to your oncologist’s prescription.
