Cyclophosphamide Injection

Cyclophosphamide Injection is a prescription medication that belongs to a class of drugs called alkylating agents. It is used to treat various types of cancer, including leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and lung cancer. Cyclophosphamide works by interfering with the DNA of cancer cells, which slows or stops their growth and division. It is usually given as an injection into a vein or as a tablet.

The dosage of cyclophosphamide will depend on the patient individual needs and medical history. It may be given in a single dose or as part of a treatment regimen that includes other cancer medications. The treatment course may last for several weeks or months. Common side effects of cyclophosphamide may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, hair loss, mouth sores, and increased risk of infections. More serious side effects are rare, but can include kidney problems, bladder problems, and an increased risk of developing other cancers. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, you should contact your healthcare provider.
