HCFU (carmofur; Mifurol) is an 5-FU analog. The maximum blood concentration of HCFU in HCFU fraction (Cmax) after gastric resection was higher than before resection. Hot sensation and pollakiuria, characteristic side effects of HCFU, are dependent on concentration of HCFU fraction in blood. Therefor...See full text at original site

Inhibition of HCFU Absorption: A Strategy for Managing Side Effects

This study explores the potential of hydroxyaluminium gel (ALG) to reduce the absorption of HCFU (carmofur; Mifurol), a 5-FU analog, after gastric resection. The authors highlight the challenge of managing side effects associated with HCFU, such as hot sensation and pollakiuria, which are often exacerbated after gastric resection due to increased HCFU absorption.

Hydroxyaluminium Gel: A Potential Absorption Inhibitor

The study investigated the effects of co-administering HCFU with ALG in patients who had undergone gastric resection. The results suggest that ALG may indeed decrease HCFU absorption, as the concentration of HCFU in the HCFU fraction was significantly lower in patients who received ALG compared to those who received HCFU alone. This finding suggests that ALG could potentially reduce the incidence of HCFU-related side effects after gastric resection.

Managing Side Effects: Balancing Benefits and Risks

While the study demonstrates the potential of ALG to reduce HCFU absorption, further research is needed to fully evaluate its efficacy and safety. It is crucial to weigh the potential benefits of reducing HCFU-related side effects against any potential risks associated with ALG. A thorough understanding of the pharmacokinetic interactions between HCFU and ALG is essential for developing safe and effective treatment strategies.

Dr. Camel's Conclusion

Side effects from medications can sometimes feel like a desert mirage, offering temporary relief but potentially leading to discomfort. This study explores a potential solution to manage side effects associated with HCFU, but further exploration is needed to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
