Capecitabine Frequently Asked Questions

People taking capecitabine along with certain "blood thinners" (anticoagulants such as warfarin) may have a higher chance of serious, rarely fatal bleeding. Bleeding has occurred during treatment and as long as one month after stopping capecitabine. If you are using an anticoagulant, blood lab tests (INR/PT) will be closely checked. Tell your doctor right away if you have any signs of bleeding or bruising (such as bloody/black/tarry stools).
