Overdose

Missed a Dose

Interactions with other medicines

• Antiviral Drugs: Medicines like sorivudine or brivudine are strictly contraindicated because they dangerously increase tegafur toxicity by inhibiting DPD and reducing 5-FU breakdown.
• Blood Thinners: Warfarin or other anticoagulants can significantly increase bleeding risk; closely monitor your clotting time (INR).
• Antiepileptic Drugs: May increase phenytoin blood levels and require dose adjustments.
• Folic Acid / Folinate: Calcium folinate enhances the activity and therapeutic effect of tegafur, but can also increase gastrointestinal side effects.
• Live Vaccines: Avoid live vaccines during treatment, as your weakened immune system may not respond safely.

Interactions with food items

• Uft capsule may be taken with or without food, depending on the specific product instructions.
• Drink plenty of fluids (water, clear broths) throughout the day to stay hydrated, especially if you experience mild diarrhea or nausea.
• Limit or avoid alcohol during treatment, especially if you have liver problems or significant treatment-related nausea.
