Description

Fluorouracil 50mg/mL is a chemotherapy medication used to treat certain types of cancer, including colon, rectal, breast, and stomach cancers. It is supplied in a pharmacy bulk package (PBP) containing 50mL vials of the medication. This package is designed for use in pharmacies to prepare individual doses for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

The medication is administered by a healthcare professional through injection or infusion into a vein. It works by interfering with the growth of cancer cells, ultimately leading to their destruction.

It is important to handle Fluorouracil with care, as it is a potent medication that can cause severe side effects if not used properly. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and mouth sores. Serious side effects, such as a decrease in blood cell counts or severe skin reactions, can also occur.

Patients receiving Fluorouracil should be closely monitored by healthcare professionals to ensure the medication is effective and well-tolerated. Dosage and administration instructions should be followed carefully to maximize the benefits of treatment and minimize the risk of side effects.
