Medical Uses
VISTOGARD (uridine triacetate) oral granules, from Wellstat Therapeutics, are indicated for the emergency treatment of adult and pediatric patients following a fluorouracil or capecitabine overdose, or those who exhibit early-onset, severe or life-threatening toxicity affecting the cardiac or central nervous system, and/or early-onset, unusually severe adverse reactions within 96 hours of the end of administration.
Uridine triacetate is a pyrimidine analog that competes with fluorouracil metabolites, reversing and preventing further fluorouracil-induced cellular toxicity when administered promptly.
