checks<\/li><li>if you have a severe skin reaction.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>DPD deficiency<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DPD deficiency is a congenital condition that is not usually associated with health problems unless you use certain medications.&nbsp;If you have DPD deficiency and are taking Capecitabine Stada, you have an increased risk of serious&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;(listed in section 4 Possible&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;).&nbsp;It is recommended that you be tested for DPD deficiency before starting treatment.&nbsp;If you have no&nbsp;enzyme&nbsp;activity, do not take Capecitabine Stada.&nbsp;If you have reduced enzyme activity (&nbsp;partial&nbsp;deficiency), your doctor may&nbsp;prescribe&nbsp;a lower&nbsp;dose.&nbsp;Serious and life-threatening&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;can still occur even if your test result for DPD deficiency is negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Capecitabine Stada is not indicated for use in children and adolescents.&nbsp;Do not give Capecitabine Stada to children and adolescents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Capecitabine STADA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting treatment, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.&nbsp;This is very important, as taking more than one medicine at the same time may intensify or weaken the effect of the medicines.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You must not take brivudine (antiviral medicine used to treat&nbsp;shingles&nbsp;or chickenpox) while you are being treated with capecitabine (including during the rest period when you are not taking any capecitabine tablets).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you have taken brivudine, you must wait at least 4 weeks after stopping brivudine before starting capecitabine treatment.&nbsp;See also section \u201cDo not take Capecitabine Stada\u201d.<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must also be especially careful if you are taking medicines for any of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>gout&nbsp;(allopurinol)<\/li><li>blood-thinning drugs (coumarin,&nbsp;warfarin&nbsp;)<\/li><li>medicines for seizures or tremors

alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should take the tablets within 30 minutes after the end of the meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.&nbsp;You should not take Capecitabine Stada if you are or think you may be pregnant.&nbsp;You should not breast-feed while taking Capecitabin Stada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The treatment may make you feel dizzy, nauseous, or tired after ingestion.&nbsp;It is therefore possible that Capecitabin Stada may affect your ability to drive or use machines.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.&nbsp;One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or&nbsp;side effects.&nbsp;Descriptions of these effects and&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;can be found in other sections.&nbsp;Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.&nbsp;If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capecitabine STADA contains lactose and sodium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg)&nbsp;sodium&nbsp;per tablet, ie&nbsp;essentially &#8216;sodium-free&#8217;.&nbsp;next to &#8220;sodium-free&#8221;.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use Capecitabine STADA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you.&nbsp;Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capecitabine Stada should only be prescribed by a doctor who has experience in the use of anticancer medicines.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor will prescribe the right&nbsp;dose&nbsp;and&nbsp;dosage&nbsp;for&nbsp;<em>you.&nbsp;<\/em>Capecitabine Stada&nbsp;doses based on your body surface area.&nbsp;It is calculated from your height and weight.&nbsp;The usual dose for adults is 1250 mg \/ m&nbsp;<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;body surface area twice a day (morning and evening).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two examples are given here: A person whose body weight is 64 kg and length is 1.64 m has a body surface area of \u200b\u200b1.7 m&nbsp;<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;and should take 4 tablets of 500 mg and 1 tablet of 150 mg twice a day.&nbsp;A person whose body weight is 80 kg and length is 1.80 m has a body surface area of \u200b\u200b2.00 m&nbsp;<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;and should take 5 tablets of 500 mg twice a day.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor will tell you what&nbsp;dose&nbsp;you need to take, when to take it and for how long you need to take it.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor may want you to take a combination&nbsp;<em>of 150 mg and 500 mg<\/em>&nbsp;tablets at each dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Take the tablets&nbsp;<strong>morning and evening<\/strong>&nbsp;as prescribed by your doctor.<\/li><li>Take the tablets within&nbsp;<strong>30 minutes after the end of the meal<\/strong>&nbsp;(breakfast and dinner)&nbsp;<strong>and swallow them whole with water<\/strong>.<\/li><li>It is important that you take all the medicines prescribed by your doctor.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Capecitabine tablets are normally taken for 14 days followed by a 7-day rest period (when no tablets are taken).&nbsp;This 21-day period is a treatment cycle.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In combination with other medicines, the normal dose for adults may be less than 1250 mg \/ m&nbsp;<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;body surface area, and you may need to take the tablets for a different period of time (eg every day without any rest period).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you use more Capecitabine STADA than you should&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you take more Capecitabine Stada than you should, contact your doctor as soon as possible before taking the next&nbsp;dose&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get the following&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;if you take much more capecitabine than you should: nausea and vomiting, diarrhea,&nbsp;inflammation&nbsp;or ulcers in the intestines or mouth, pain or bleeding from the intestines or stomach or bone marrow depression (decrease in certain types of&nbsp;blood cells&nbsp;).&nbsp;Tell your doctor immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you forget to use Capecitabine STADA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do&nbsp;<strong>not<\/strong>&nbsp;take&nbsp;the missed&nbsp;dose&nbsp;one&nbsp;<strong>or<\/strong>&nbsp;double&nbsp;<strong>the<\/strong>&nbsp;next&nbsp;dose.&nbsp;Instead, continue with your prescribed&nbsp;dosage&nbsp;and talk to your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you stop using Capecitabine STADA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;caused by stopping capecitabine treatment.&nbsp;If you are taking coumarin&nbsp;anticoagulants&nbsp;(containing, for example, phenprocoumon), your doctor may require you to adjust your&nbsp;dose&nbsp;of&nbsp;anticoagulants&nbsp;when you stop taking capecitabine.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

and precautions).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skin reactions on hands and feet can lead to loss of fingerprints, which may affect your fingerprint identification.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to what is
