Therapeutic Effects of Uratuf 100mg/224mg Capsule
Uratuf 100mg/224mg capsule is a combination of two chemotherapy drugs: tegafur and uracil. tegafur is absorbed into the bloodstream, converted into the active drug 5FU in the liver, and then absorbed by tumor cells. Within the cells is an enzyme that breaks down the 5FU. The uracil slows the breakdown of 5FU, which means that the 5FU stays in the cancer cells for longer. It prevents the growth and multiplication of cancer cells and thus helps destroy the tumor.
