Description
Thioguanine Tablets USP is a chemotherapy medication used to treat certain types of leukemia, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), as well as some other blood disorders. Thioguanine is a purine analog that works by interfering with DNA synthesis and replication, thereby inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and preventing their division.
The dosage of Thioguanine is typically determined by a healthcare provider based on the patient’s condition and response to treatment. It is usually taken orally and may be part of a combination chemotherapy regimen.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, liver toxicity, and bone marrow suppression, which can lead to low blood cell counts, increasing the risk of infections, anemia, and bleeding. Regular monitoring of liver function and blood counts is essential to manage potential side effects and ensure the medication’s effectiveness.
