Mode of Action
Cyclophosphamide is a prodrug which is converted in the body to the active metabolites. It acts at any stage of the cell cycle but its main action is blockage at the G2 stage. It arrests cell division by alkylating the DNA in a dose-dependent manner. It also exerts immunosuppressive effects possibly due to a cytotoxic effect on lymphocytes.
Precaution
Blood disorders. Elderly or debilitated patients. Diabetic patients. Renal or hepatic impairment or who have gone adrenaloctomy. Previous treatment with x-ray or cytotoxic agents. Monitor haematological profile and presence of RBCs in urine regularly. Maintain adequate hydration and frequent micturition to reduce the risk of cystitis.
Lactation: Drug excreted in breast milk; do not nurse
Side Effect
Alopecia, skin and nails hyperpigmentation, nausea and vomiting, mucositis, inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, carbohydrate metabolism disturbances, gonadal suppression, interstitial pulmonary fibrosis.
Potentially Fatal: Anaphylactic reactions, bone marrow failure, severe immunosuppression, urotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, hyponatraemia, haemorrhagic cystitis.
