Brand Name: Cycloxan

Composition: Cyclophosphamide

Mechanism of Action:

Cyclophosphamide functions by preventing DNA replication in cells that divide quickly, including cancer cells. It causes the DNA strands to cross-link, which stops the cells from proliferating and ultimately leads to their death. Because it affects both healthy and malignant cells, cyclophosphamide can cause adverse effects, especially in tissues that grow quickly, like bone marrow and hair.

• Non-Hodgkins and Hodgkins lymphomas.
• Acute and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

• Breast Cancer
• Ovarian Cancer
• Nephrotic Syndrome
• Lung Cancer

Dosage and Administration:

The dosage is determined by the type of cancer or condition being treated, the body surface area (BSA) of the patient, and the overall treatment plan. Cyclophosphamide is given intravenously (IV) in a hospital setting under a doctor's supervision.

• Nausea
