Common use

Zocitab tablet is primarily used to manage certain types of cancer, specifically colorectal and breast cancer. It's part of a group of medicines known as antineoplastic medicines, which belong to the fluoropyrimidine carbamate class.
Aside from its primary use, this medicine is also prescribed for the adjuvant treatment of Dukes' C colon cancer after complete tumour resection.
