Description

Fluorouracil 50 mg/mL Pharmacy Bulk Package Vial 50 mL is a sterile injectable solution used primarily in the treatment of various types of cancer, including colorectal, breast, and gastric cancers. This product is supplied in a 50 mL vial as a bulk package, designed for compounding and dispensing into individual doses as required by the specific therapeutic protocol.

Fluorouracil is an antimetabolite and acts as a chemotherapy agent by interfering with DNA synthesis. It inhibits the enzyme thymidylate synthase, which is essential for the production of thymidine, a nucleotide required for DNA replication. By disrupting DNA synthesis, fluorouracil prevents cancer cells from dividing and proliferating, leading to tumor cell death.

This pharmacy bulk package is suitable for intravenous infusion or injection, depending on the prescribed regimen. It is typically used in combination with other chemotherapy agents to enhance treatment efficacy. Administration should be performed in a controlled environment due to the potential for serious side effects and the need for close monitoring.
