TabletTypical dosage for Capecitabine
Your provider will calculate your dose based on your body surface area (BSA), which takes into account your height and weight. The dose and duration of therapy also depends on what type of cancer you’re being treated for, and what other anticancer medications or treatments (e.g., radiation) you’re receiving.
- The typical dose ranges between 625 mg/m2 - 1250 mg/m2 by mouth twice a day.
If you’re receiving radiation, you’ll usually take Capecitabine during radiation treatment, which can last several weeks.
If you’re not receiving radiation, Capecitabine is commonly taken for 2 weeks out of every 3-week treatment cycle.
