IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ENDOXANA
Your doctor has prescribed Endoxana because you have cancer that can
be treated.
Endoxana is a medicine that kills cancer cells but, as a result, also
attacks normal cells. It can therefore have a number of side effects.
Your
doctor will not give you Endoxana unless he or she thinks that your
cancer is more of a risk to you than any possible side effects. Your
doctor
will check you regularly and treat any side effects where possible.
Endoxana:
•
will reduce your blood cell count, which may make you feel tired and
be
more likely to get infections.
•
can affect your kidneys and bladder. You may be given another
medicine called Mesna to help prevent any damage. If you notice blood
in your urine, tell your doctor immediately.
•
like most anti-cancer or chemotherapy medicines, you may lose your
hair (anything from thinning to total loss), although it should start
to
grow back once your treatment has finished. It may also make you feel
sick or be sick. Your doctor can give you advice or medicines to help.
•
Men or women should not have a child during treatment with Endoxana
or for at least 6 months after treatment. You should use an effective
contraceptive. Ask your doctor for advice.
