Information About Oteracil

Oteracil is an orotate phosphoribosyltransferase inhibitor used as part of the tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil (S-1) oral fluoropyrimidine combination for gastric, colorectal, and non-small cell lung cancer in Singapore. Available only as a fixed three-component oral formulation with tegafur and gimeracil taken twice daily with food per oncology protocol, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Oteracil selectively inhibits gastrointestinal fluorouracil activation, reducing fluoropyrimidine-related gastrointestinal toxicity without affecting antitumour activity in tissues outside the gut. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Oteracil online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.

Oteracil is a medication component commonly used as part of combination therapy for the treatment of certain cancers, particularly gastrointestinal cancers such as gastric cancer. It works by reducing the activation of chemotherapy in healthy gastrointestinal tissues, helping decrease gastrointestinal side effects while allowing the anticancer components of the treatment to remain effective. Oteracil belongs to a class of medications known as chemotherapy modulators and is widely used in oncology care as part of combination anticancer regimens.
