⚠️ Specialist-supervised cancer therapy — this medication is started, monitored, and stopped by an oncologist or haematologist. Dosing depends on tumour type, stage, body surface area, organ function, and concomitant therapy. Self-treatment is not appropriate; the information below is educational and supports informed conversations with your specialist.
Cumulative myelosuppression — weekly FBC during induction. Stop if neutrophils <1500/μL or platelets <100,000/μL. Cumulative dose limit relates to risk of secondary AML/MDS (~5-10% lifetime risk in long-term users). Take on empty stomach (food halves bioavailability).
