What is Tegafur + Uracil?

Therapeutic Class:

Active Ingredients: Tegafur + Uracil

Tegafur + Uracil Capsules are an anti-tumor drug used in cancer chemotherapy. It is a first-line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer, in which it is typically prescribed with Calcium Folinate. It is also a safe treatment for patients with partial dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency (DPD) deficiency.

The combination of Tegafur + Uracil is also called UFT or UFUR. Though this combination is particularly effective for bowel cancer, it is sometimes used to treat breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, and other types of cancer.

Tegafur is a prodrug of fluorouracil (5FU). The active ingredient is gradually converted to 5-fluorouracil in the liver by the cytochrome P-450 enzyme. This medication is sometimes used with other drugs to alter its bioavailability and toxicity.

Uracil is an organic compound that is classified as a pyrimidine. It helps to slow fluorouracil breakdown, which helps it stay in a person's system for longer.
