Capetero 500 Tablet 10 contains capecitabine (500 mg), and it works on your body in several ways:

• Enzymatic Conversion: Capecitabine is a prodrug that converts enzymatically into 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in your body.

• DNA Synthesis Inhibition: The active metabolite FdUMP, derived from 5-FU, reduces normal thymidine production, inhibiting DNA synthesis.

• RNA Interference: Another active metabolite, FUTP, interferes with normal RNA function by integrating into RNA strands.

By these mechanisms, capecitabine effectively inhibits the growth and promotes the death of rapidly dividing cancer cells.

• Store Capetero 500 Tablet 10 in a cool, dry place at room temperature.

• Keep away from excessive heat and light.

• Ensure the medicine is kept out of reach and sight of children.

• Always check the expiry date before use.

• Try to maintain a balanced, healthy diet to support your body while managing cancer. Include plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.

• Stay physically active as much as you can. Regular light exercises like walking or yoga can help improve your overall well-being. However, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
