Comtripsy 20mg Tablet

About

Comtripsy 20mg Tablet is an anticancer medication containing the two active constituents Trifluridine and Tipiracil. It is used to treat adults with colon and rectum cancer when it reaches the metastases stage (cancer has spread to other parts of the body) and when other treatments are unsuitable. Trifluridine inhibits the growth of cancer cells, whereas Tipiracil stops the Trifluridine from being broken down and helps it to work longer. Cancer is a condition in which the cells multiply uncontrolled and abnormally. This medicine is not recommended for adolescents and children under 18.
