Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Fluracil -500mg is indicated for the treatment of several malignancies. It is primarily used in chemotherapy regimens for colorectal cancer, breast cancer, gastric (stomach) cancer, and pancreatic cancer, either as monotherapy or in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents.

Side Effects

  • Common side effects of Fluracil -500mg include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, alopecia (hair loss), and mucositis. It can also cause myelosuppression, leading to decreased blood cell counts (anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia), which increases the risk of infection and bleeding. Patients should report any severe symptoms, such as chest pain or hand-foot syndrome, to their healthcare provider immediately.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Fluracil -500mg is a Schedule H prescription drug and must be administered under the supervision of a qualified oncologist. It is classified as Pregnancy Category D, meaning it can cause fetal harm and should not be used during pregnancy. Regular monitoring of complete blood counts, liver function, and renal function is essential during therapy. Patients with a known dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency are at a significantly higher risk of severe toxicity and require extreme caution or alternative treatment.

Avoid Interactions

  • Fluorouracil can interact with several medications, including oral anticoagulants like warfarin, potentially increasing the risk of bleeding. Co-administration with other myelosuppressive drugs or immunomodulators can exacerbate bone marrow suppression. Vaccines, particularly live vaccines, should be avoided during treatment due to the compromised immune system.
