    Xeloda (Capecitabine) Information

    Xeloda dosage

    The typical dose is one tablet by mouth twice a day. The dose recommended by your doctor is determined by your condition and history of treatment. The tablets are intended to be swallowed whole with a full glass of water after eating.

    The manufacturer advises against crushing, chewing or splitting the tablets. Seek medical advice if you are unable to swallow the tablets. You are meant to take your dose according to a specific treatment cycle. Carefully follow your treatment plan to see the best results.

    Do not take extra doses as this will not hasten treatment. If you miss a dose, you can take it when you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, simply skip the missed dose and continue with your schedule. Taking extra doses can increase your risk of experiencing side effects.
