A member asked:
What do you suggest if my grandma takes 3000 mg of chemotherapy pill named xeloda (capecitabine).?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xeloda(capecitabine): Sorry to hear about her diagnosis. Check out http://www.drugs.com/dosage/xeloda.html for more info. Xeloda (capecitabine) is intended for use in colon & breast cancer. 3,000mg is pretty standard dose. Best to discuss your concerns w/your grandma and her oncologist. Good luck.
