• Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: L-asparaginase lowers a nutrient needed by susceptible abnormal white blood cells and forms part of a specialist treatment programme.

• Allergic reaction: L-asparaginase can cause rash, hives, itching, wheezing or breathing difficulty during or after treatment. Get emergency medical help for face, lips or throat swelling.
• Stomach symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea or abdominal pain may occur. Report severe pain, repeated vomiting or marked abdominal swelling to the treatment team urgently.
• High blood sugar: Treatment can raise blood glucose and may cause unusual thirst or frequent urination. Tell the treatment team promptly so it can be checked.
• Low albumin or fatigue: Low albumin may contribute to swelling, while reduced energy can limit activity. Report marked swelling or worsening weakness.
• Bleeding or clotting changes: Altered clotting may cause unusual bruising or bleeding, and bilirubin in urine may darken urine. Report these signs promptly.
