CYTARABINE is a chemotherapy drug used to treat a variety of leukemias and lymphomas. It is a cytotoxic drug that prevents the growth and spread of cancer cells. CYTARABINE is usually given intravenously by injection, and the doctor will determine the dosage and frequency based on the patient's specific condition and disease. Some side effects may occur during use of CYTARABINE, including nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and bone marrow suppression. If you have any discomfort or concerns, you should tell your doctor immediately. Be sure to use CYTARABINE as directed by your doctor and do not adjust your dose or stop taking it. If you have any questions, please ask your doctor.
HOW TO USE: CYTARABINE is an anticancer drug that is usually given in the hospital by a medical professional. Please strictly follow your doctor's instructions, which are usually given by intravenous drip. During use, blood indexes are checked regularly to monitor treatment effects and possible side effects. While using CYTARABINE, you may need to avoid exposure to sources of infection because the drug may affect the immune system.
Dosage Guidelines: The dosage of CYTARABINE is based on the patient's specific condition and cancer type. The usual starting dose is 100 to 200 mg per square meter of body surface area, given 1 to 2 times daily. Dosage may be adjusted based on patient tolerance and response to treatment. For pediatric patients, dosage is usually calculated based on body weight and needs to be adjusted based on your doctor's advice.
Remember, use of CYTARABINE must be done under a doctor's supervision and do not adjust the dose or stop using the drug on your own. If you have any questions or discomfort, please consult your doctor immediately.
