Eating a clean, well-balanced diet and staying well-hydrated can help your body tolerate these treatment cycles more comfortably.
While receiving this treatment, you may experience common side effects such as nausea, tiredness, fever, or a temporary drop in your healthy blood cell counts. It is vital to contact your doctor immediately if you face serious side effects, such as a high fever, severe chills, unusual bleeding, or bruising.

This medicine can interact with other drugs that weaken your immune system, which greatly increases your risk of catching severe infections.
