What are the side effects of Xeloda?
As with all chemotherapy, oral and i.v., Xeloda does have side effects. However, the most dangerous side-effect of i.v. chemotherapy for breast cancer is the loss of resistance to infection caused by a fall in the white blood cell counts. Xeloda has little effect on blood count causing fewer life threatening side effects. Women treated with Xeloda experience less severe side effects commonly associated with i.v. chemotherapy such as diarrhoea, fatigue, nausea and vomiting.
