Gleostine Coupons & Cost Discounts

Lomustine decreases bone marrow function, an effect (possibly fatal) that may lead to a low number of blood cells such as red cells, white cells, and platelets. This effect can cause anemia, decrease your body's ability to fight an infection, or cause easy bruising/bleeding. These side effects usually occur 4 to 6 weeks after your dose and may last for 1 to 2 weeks. Tell your doctor right away if you develop any of the following symptoms: unusual tiredness, pale skin, signs of infection (such as sore throat that doesn't go away, fever, chills), easy bruising/bleeding. Your doctor will closely monitor you and perform weekly blood tests for at least 6 weeks after each dose. Your dose and any further treatment will be based on your blood tests. Due to serious side effects, do not take this medication more often than once every 6 weeks. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.

Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, or mouth/lip sores may occur. Nausea and vomiting usually last for less than 24 hours and loss of appetite may last for several days. Nausea and vomiting can be severe. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe medication to prevent or relieve nausea and vomiting. Eating several small meals, not eating before treatment, or limiting activity may help lessen some of these effects. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Temporary hair loss may occur. Normal hair growth should return after treatment has ended. Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects.
