What is Vistogard?

Vistogard is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Wellstat Therapeutics Corporation. Vistogard is a pyrimidine analog used for the emergency treatment of adult and pediatric patients after a fluorouracil or capecitabine overdose regardless of the presence of symptoms, or in patients who have early-onset, severe or life-threatening toxicity affecting the cardiac or central nervous system, and/or early-onset, abnormally severe adverse reactions (such as gastrointestinal toxicity and/or neutropenia) within 96 hours of ending treatment with fluorouracil or capecitabine administration.

Vistogard has certain limitations of use, including not being recommended for the non-emergent treatment of adverse reactions associated with 5-fluorouracil or capecitabine because it may reduce the efficacy of these drugs.

What doses of Vistogard are available?

Vistogard is available as oral granules, in the following doses: 10-gram packets.

The recommended dosage for adults is 10 grams orally every 6 hours for 20 doses, with or without meals. For pediatrics, the dose is 6.2 grams/m2 of body surface area, (but not to exceed 10 grams per dose) every 6 hours for 20 doses, with or without meals.

Measure the correct dose to 0.1 gram, or a graduated teaspoon accurate to ¼ teaspoon. Mix each dose with 3 to 4 ounces of soft foods such as applesauce, yogurt, or pudding, and consume within 30 minutes. Drink at least 4 ounces of water.

If you vomit within 2 hours of taking a dose of Vistogard, take another dose as soon as possible. Take the next dose at the regular scheduled time. If you miss a dose of Vistogard, take your next dose at the regular time. Take Vistogard via a nasogastric tube or gastrostomy tube if you have severe mucositis or coma.

Please read the prescribing information and always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
