How long does xeloda stay in your system after you finish your treatments?

Xeloda (capecitabine) typically has a half-life of about 0.5 to 1 hour, meaning it is eliminated from the body relatively quickly after stopping treatment. However, its metabolites can remain in the system longer, and the overall clearance may take several days. Most patients will eliminate the drug within a week or two after the last dose, but individual factors such as metabolism and overall health can influence this timeline. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized information regarding medication clearance.
