Indications & Clinical Uses

5 Flucel 500mg is indicated for the treatment of several types of malignancies. Its primary therapeutic applications include the management of colorectal cancer, breast cancer, gastric (stomach) cancer, and pancreatic cancer. It is typically administered intravenously either as a single agent or in combination with other chemotherapeutic medications.

Side Effects

Common side effects associated with Fluorouracil injection include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomatitis (mouth sores). It can also cause myelosuppression, leading to reduced white blood cell, red blood cell, and platelet counts, which increases the risk of infection and anemia. Other potential effects include temporary hair loss (alopecia) and hand-foot syndrome.

Precautions & Warnings

5 Flucel 500 is classified under Pregnancy Category D, indicating clear evidence of human fetal risk, and should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Patients with a known dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency are at a significantly higher risk of severe, potentially life-threatening toxicity and require extreme caution. Regular monitoring of complete blood counts, liver function, and kidney function is essential during therapy.

Avoid Interactions

Fluorouracil can interact with oral anticoagulants like warfarin, potentially increasing the risk of bleeding. Co-administration with other myelosuppressive agents or immunomodulators can compound bone marrow toxicity. Additionally, leucovorin (folinic acid) enhances both the therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of fluorouracil, requiring careful dosage adjustments and monitoring.
