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 to 12 months after treatment. You should use an effective
contraceptive. Ask your
doctor for advice.
