Xeloda is often used in combination with other anticancer drugs. It is usually used to treat metastatic breast cancer that has stopped responding to Taxol, Taxotere, and Adriamycin. Antimetabolites kill cancer cells by acting as false building blocks in the cancer cell's genes, causing the cancer cell to die as it prepares to divide. Xeloda is in inactive form when you take it. Your liver and then enzymes in the cancer cells turn it into the active anti-cancer form, 5-fluorouracil. This two-step activation process means that a higher concentration of the drug ends up in the cancer tissue, not in healthy tissue. Xeloda (capecitabine) may be available under several brand names and/or in several different forms. Any particular brand name of Xeloda (capecitabine) may not be available in all forms or approved for all conditions discussed here.
