Fluorouracil

Uses

Fluorouracil is used in the treatment of cancer.

How it Works

How Fluorouracil Works Fluorouracil is an anticancer medication that interferes with the growth of genetic material (DNA and RNA) in cancer cells. This action slows the growth of cancer cells and ultimately leads to their death.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Fluorouracil include nausea, vomiting, hair loss, diarrhea, bronchospasm, infection, myelosuppression, agranulocytosis (a deficiency of granulocytes in the blood), general discomfort, itching, skin exfoliation, anemia (a low number of red blood cells), febrile neutropenia, angina (heart-related chest pain), ECG changes, and decreased immunity.

Expert Advice

  • Fluorouracil is used to treat cancers of the stomach, colon, rectum, breast, and lungs.
  • It is administered either as an injection into a vein or as a drip (infusion) into a vein or artery.
  • The dosage and number of treatment cycles required will depend on the type and stage of cancer being treated.
  • This medication may cause dizziness and visual changes.
  • Do not drive or engage in activities requiring concentration until you understand how it affects you.
  • Use a reliable contraceptive method to prevent pregnancy while taking this medicine.
  • Your doctor may regularly monitor your blood cells and liver function during treatment.
  • Inform your doctor immediately if you notice any signs of infection, such as fever, sore throat, rash, or severe diarrhea.
