Generally, some oral chemotherapy drugs and low dose chemotherapy drugs have fewer side effects. For example, Tegio capsule, capecitabine tablets and so on.
Chemotherapeutic drugs mainly play a general role in cell killing, can kill tumor cells, but also on the normal tissue cells have a killing effect, so chemotherapy drugs will bring some side effects after use, generally the higher the dose of the drug the greater the side effects. The higher the dosage, the greater the side effects. The faster and more completely the drug is absorbed, the greater the side effects will be.
Unlike intravenous chemotherapy drugs, oral chemotherapy drugs are not fully absorbed by the body through blood circulation, so the side effects of oral preparations of the same chemotherapy drugs are generally less than those of intravenous chemotherapy drugs.
Of course, the side effects of chemotherapy drugs vary from person to person, and a few patients may also experience significant side effects after using oral chemotherapy drugs. Patients are advised not to take medication without authorization, and to use medication under the guidance of a professional physician.
