Product introduction

Comcapsy 400mg/20mg Tablet should be taken with food or within 30 minutes of eating. Your doctor will decide what dose is necessary and how often you need to take it. This will depend on what you are being treated for and may change from time to time. You should take it exactly as your doctor has advised. Taking it in the wrong way or more than the recommended dose can cause very serious side effects. It may take several weeks or months for you to see or feel the benefits but do not stop taking it unless the doctor tells you to.

The most common side effects of this medicine include hand-foot syndrome, vomiting, and asthenia. This medicine may reduce the number of blood cells (decrease white blood cells) in your blood, thereby increasing the susceptibility to infections.

Before taking Comcapsy 400mg/20mg Tablet, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems or are taking any medicines to treat infections, as many other medicines can affect or be affected by this medicine. This medicine is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. The use of effective contraception by both males and females during the treatment is important to avoid pregnancy.

How Comcapsy Tablet works

Comcapsy 400mg/20mg Tablet is a combination of two anticancer medicines. Capecitabine interferes with the production of DNA. It stops cell growth and multiplication, resulting in the slowing or stopping of cancer growth. Cyclophosphamide damages the DNA of cancer cells and prevents their growth. Cancer cells divide faster and with less error-correcting than normal cells, making the cancer cells more prone to this damage.
