Flurasted 500 Injection belongs to a group of anti-cancer medicines called 'antimetabolites' used to treat breast, colon, rectum, pancreatic and stomach/gastric cancer. Cancer is a disease in which cells divide uncontrollably. Cancer can be localized (benign) or spread to the whole body (metastasized). Flurasted 500 Injection contains 'Fluorouracil' that works by interfering with the growth of genetic material (DNA and RNA) of the cancer cells. This prevents the cancer cells from multiplying and growing and eventually kills them. In some cases, Flurasted 500 Injection may cause nausea, vomiting, weakness, loss of appetite, increased risk of infection, hair loss, diarrhoea, decreased blood cells, and mouth ulcers. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. Inform your doctor if you have a metabolic disorder called DPD (dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase) deficiency, heart problems, bone marrow depression, kidney disease, liver disease, or if you are on treatment with chemotherapy or radiation.
