Description
Cyclophosphamide Tablets USP 50 mg is a chemotherapy drug used to treat various cancers, including breast cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, and ovarian cancer. It is also used to treat autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent that works by interfering with the DNA of cancer cells, preventing their replication and causing cell death. It also suppresses the immune system in autoimmune conditions.
The 50 mg dosage is typically taken orally, either alone or in combination with other chemotherapy agents, depending on the condition being treated. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, hair loss, suppression of bone marrow (which can cause low blood cell counts and increase the risk of infections, anemia, and bleeding), and bladder irritation. Regular monitoring of blood counts, kidney function, and heart function is important during treatment to manage any potential side effects and adjust doses accordingly.
