Medical Description
Moostin capsule is an anticancer medicine in a class of drugs called alkylating agents. It contains lomustine. It is used in the management of brain tumors and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It works by attaching to the DNA of cancer cells, which stops the cells from dividing and growing.
Moostin capsule can cause delayed suppression of the bone marrow. It can lower your platelet count and white blood cell count. Your doctor will monitor your blood counts regularly after each dose, since repeated doses may amplify this effect. Inform your doctor if you experience unusual bleeding, bruising, fever, chills, or sore throat.
Moostin capsule is taken by mouth as suggested by your doctor. Take as prescribed; don't alter doses without medical advice. Nausea and vomiting may occur within several hours after taking Moostin capsule, usually resolving within about 24 hours, though reduced appetite might persist longer.
Serious warning signs to report to your doctor include yellowing of the skin or eyes, swelling of the feet or lower legs, confusion, or a marked decrease in urination.
Before starting Moostin capsule, tell your doctor about all your existing medical conditions, like problems with your bone marrow, lungs, liver, or kidneys, and about every other medicine, supplement, or herbal product you are taking. Moostin capsule can cause serious harm to an unborn baby, so it is not recommended during pregnancy.
