Information About Tegafur
Tegafur is an oral fluoropyrimidine prodrug used as part of the S-1 combination (tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil) for gastric, colorectal, and lung cancer in Singapore. Available only as a fixed three-component combination taken twice daily with food per oncology protocol, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Tegafur is converted to fluorouracil intracellularly by CYP2A6 — patients with CYP2A6 poor metaboliser phenotypes may have reduced antitumour activity and require genotyping before initiation of S-1 regimens. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Tegafur online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
