Medical Description
Lymfuda tablet is a prescription anticancer medicine belonging to a group of chemotherapy medicines called antimetabolites. Doctors mainly use it to treat B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), especially in patients with sufficient bone marrow. However, it is started as a first-line treatment only in patients with advanced-stage CLL. Lymfuda tablet works by interfering with DNA production, which prevents rapidly growing cancer cells from multiplying and can ultimately cause them to die
Lymfuda tablet should be swallowed whole with water, at the same time each day. Your doctor will decide the exact dose and duration of your Lymfuda tablet treatment. Because it can affect your blood cell counts, your healthcare team will regularly monitor your blood tests before and during treatment. If tablet of Lymfuda tablet are accidentally opened or damaged, do not inhale or come into contact with the contents. If you come into contact with it, wash the affected area with water immediately.
Common side effects during treatment with Lymfuda tablet include fatigue, weakness, fever and chills, low blood cell counts (affecting red cells, white cells, and platelets), nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, and leg swelling. Serious side effects include severe or long-lasting decrease in blood cell counts, life-threatening autoimmune destruction of red blood cells, serious lung problems (including pneumonia and rare cases of lung failure), confusion or other nervous system effects, tumour lysis syndrome, and an increased risk of serious infections.

Women and men with partners who are or could become pregnant should use effective contraception during treatment and for 6 months after the last dose. Avoid breastfeeding during treatment. Contact your healthcare team immediately in case of a missed dose or overdose, and if you notice symptoms such as fever, chills, unusual bleeding or bruising, signs of infection, shortness of breath, cough, breathing changes, pale skin, extreme fatigue, dark urine, confusion, severe headache, vision changes, numbness, weakness, agitation, or other new neurological symptoms. Lymfuda tablet should not be combined with pentostatin because it may cause serious lung damage. Regular blood tests are done to monitor for infections, blood cell counts, tumour lysis syndrome and other effects throughout treatment.
