Hi, folks. My friend has been diagnosed with leukemia and I think that he will be recommended to try with cyclophosphamid. I know that it is toxic and I would like to find out about its toxicity level. Can anyone help me with this? I would really appreciate all your replies considering this.
Hi to you too. Cyclophosphamide is a cytotoxic drug that kills cancer cells. It can also have many side effects. One of them is bone marrow suppression. The treatment with this drug is strictly monitored by a healthcare professional. Dosage depends how often it is given. 40 to 50 mg/kg is given divided into 2 to5 days. There are other regimes as well. You should consult an expert about this. Good luck!
