Description

Common side effects of this medication include hair loss, diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue. This medication may reduce the number of blood cells, specifically decreasing white blood cells, which can increase susceptibility to infections. Regular blood tests are required to monitor your blood cells, as well as to check your heart, liver, and kidneys.
Many other medications can affect or be affected by this treatment, so inform your healthcare team about all medications you are using. This medication is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Both males and females must use effective contraception during treatment to prevent pregnancy.
