Luporal Capsule 10's

This medicine is used as an anticancer treatment to help slow the growth and spread of certain types of solid tumors. The detailed uses of this medicine are as follows:

• Colorectal cancer: Luporal Capsule is used to treat cancers of the colon and rectum by slowing the growth of cancer cells. It may help shrink tumors or reduce the risk of cancer recurrence after surgery when prescribed as part of a treatment plan.
• Gastric cancer: Luporal Capsule helps manage stomach cancer by interfering with the multiplication of abnormal cancer cells and slowing disease progression.
• Breast cancer: In selected cases, Luporal Capsule may be prescribed to help control advanced or recurring breast cancer by reducing the growth and spread of cancer cells.

Luporal Capsule provides an effective oral chemotherapy option that helps manage certain cancers while offering convenience and flexibility during treatment. Its benefits include:

• Helps slow the growth and spread of cancer cells by targeting and destroying abnormal cells.
• Provides the convenience of oral treatment, allowing patients to take therapy at home and reducing the need for frequent hospital visits for intravenous chemotherapy.
• Helps eliminate microscopic cancer cells that may remain after surgery, supporting efforts to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.
• Offers a manageable treatment approach through scheduled oral cycles, helping patients maintain their daily routine and quality of life during therapy.
• Supports long-term cancer management when used as part of a treatment plan prescribed by an oncologist.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication, to improve effectiveness.
• Take the medicine an hour before or after food or as advised by the doctor.
• Swallow the medicine as a whole with a glass of water.
• Do not crush, break, or chew it.

• Drink plenty of fluids: Aim to drink at least two to three liters of water daily to keep your kidneys functioning well and prevent dehydration from potential diarrhea.
• Eat small, frequent meals: If you experience a loss of appetite or mild nausea, eating five or six small, nutritious meals throughout the day is often easier to tolerate than three large ones.
• Maintain gentle mouth care: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and rinse your mouth with a mild saltwater solution after meals to help prevent painful mouth sores.
• Protect your skin from the sun: This medication can make your skin more sensitive to sunburn. Wear protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors.

• Inspect capsules before use: Check the blister packaging before each dose. Do not take capsules that are cracked, broken, damaged, or damp.
• Maintain proper hygiene: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after handling the capsules to avoid accidental exposure.
• Monitor for fever and infection: Check your body temperature regularly and seek medical attention if you develop a fever, as oral chemotherapy may temporarily reduce white blood cell counts and increase infection risk.
• Avoid live vaccines: Do not receive live vaccines while taking this medicine unless your doctor has confirmed that it is safe to do so.
• Use effective contraception: Use highly effective birth control during treatment and for the duration recommended by your doctor, as this medicine may harm an unborn baby.
• Discuss fertility before treatment: If you plan to have children in the future, speak with your oncologist before starting chemotherapy. Depending on your situation, options such as sperm banking or egg/embryo preservation may be considered before treatment begins.
