Introduction

Capsy 50mg Gel is sometimes used with certain other medicines as part of combination chemotherapy. It prevents cancer cells from growing, as a result of which they eventually die. This stops the spread of cancer cells in the body. Frequency of hair loss is much less compared to other chemotherapy drugs. This medicine often causes nausea and vomiting. However, it is important that you continue to receive the medicine even if you begin to feel ill. Do not stop taking this medicine without first checking with your doctor.

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying unless hands are the affected area.

Capsy 50mg Gel is an anticancer medication. Inside the body, this medicine gets converted into 5-fluorouracil (chemical). This chemical hampers the synthesis of genetic materials (RNA and DNA) in the cancer cells, thereby interfering with their growth. This slows down the growth of cancer cells and eventually kills them.

Capsy 50mg Gel is used alone or in combination with other medicines for the treatment of colon, rectum or breast cancers. It is oral chemotherapy hence it is preferred by many patients. It should be taken within 30 minutes after eating a meal. The dose and the number of treatment cycles needed will depend on the type and stage of cancer that is being treated.
