CeeNU (Lomustine) 40mg Online
CeeNU (Lomustine) is prescribed for treating Hodgkin’s lymphoma (also known as Hodgkin’s disease). It is used to treat certain types of cancer or tumours affecting the brain, lung cancer, and a type of skin cancer known as melanoma. Apart from taking this drug, treatment for cancer may involve other drugs, surgery, or radiotherapy. This drug is in a class of medications called alkylating agents, and it works by inhibiting or slowing down the ability of cancer cells to grow.
CeeNU (Lomustine) may cause serious blood disorders (decreased bone marrow function leading to a low number of white blood cells/platelets and anemia). It can lower your body`s ability to fight infection and increase your risk of bleeding. These side effects usually occur 4-6 weeks after your dose. Higher doses and more doses increase the chance of these side effects. Our physician will monitor you and perform blood tests weekly for at least 6 weeks after each dose. Your dose and any further treatment will be based on your blood tests. You will have to wait at least 6 weeks between doses. If you have an allergic or hypersensitive reaction, seek emergency medical attention. Possible symptoms include difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, swelling, chest tightness, skin rashes, and hives.
CeeNU (Lomustine) should only be used as instructed and prescribed by your physician or pharmacist. Do not alter your dosage unless specifically instructed to do so by either of the above. Dosage and usage often depend on the severity of the condition, as well as the patient`s medical history and current health condition.
Lomustine (INN); abbreviated as CCNU; original brand name CeeNU, now marketed as Gleostine) is an alkylating nitrosourea compound used in chemotherapy. It is closely related to semustine and is in the same family as streptozotocin. It is a highly lipid-soluble drug,[2] thus it crosses the blood-brain barrier. This property makes it ideal for treating brain tumors, which is its primary use, although it is also used to treat Hodgkin lymphoma as a second-line option.[3] Lomustine has a long time to nadir (the time when white blood cells reach their lowest number).
