Hi folks
Does anyone know how long capecitabine stay in our systems once we stop taking it? I’m not entire sure why I want to know but maybe because I’m about to start my last 2 weeks of it and can’t wait tonow it’s properly behind me. Thanks!

I used to know this but have long since forgotten it ! But it’s all about “half lives “ and metabolic rates that are a bit complex to understand without the relevant degree !
But I have put up a link and it seems to suggest it’s peak points of absorption and how most is eliminated through your urine ! No wonder they tell you to put the lid down and double flush .
See if you can interpret it !
Well done in getting to this point !
Take care ,
