Cyclophosphamide

Cyclophosphamide is used to treat different types of cancers such as mycosis fungoides, neuroblastoma, ovarian cancer, eye cancer, and breast cancer. It is not used in isolation but in conjunction with other medicines. Being an antineoplastic, it slows down the growth and spread of the cancer cells. It is also used to treat kidney problems found in children.

There are certain medicines that increase the side effects of Cyclophosphamide such as etanercept, doxorubicin, trastuzumab and ketoconazole. Let your doctor know if you are receiving any sort of radiation therapy, or cytotoxic therapy.

It is given in an injection form at the doctor’s office or clinic itself. If you are to use it at home, ask all the questions you need to, to the doctor and be sure of the proper procedure. Drink plenty of fluids while taking this.

Some of the possible common side effects of Cyclophosphamide can be weakness, vomiting, skin rash, hair loss, skin colour change, nail discoloration, and absence of menstrual periods. If you have pneumonia, a persistent cough, hallucinations, fever, blood in urine or severe allergic reactions, find a doctor immediately.
