Leukeran – Keeping Cancer Under Control

Fighting cancer is not an easy task. More and more patients are struggling with the fight against cancer every day, and keeping it under control is a very demanding objective. For this matter it is extremely important to know and understand what are the symptoms of cancer and how to keep cancer under control once you have been diagnosed with it. Understanding and knowing more about different types of cancer treatments it the right path for you because you will increase your knowledge about how to treat and keep cancer under strict control.

Fighting cancer is facilitated with the help of modern medicine in a treatment known as chemotherapy. One of these medicine used in chemotherapy is Leukeran (either brand or generic Leukeran) which proved to be one of the most successful medicine for cancer treatments. Leukeran is most commonly used for the treatment of acute up to chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinaemia.

Leukeran is a pill available in the form of 2mg brown colored tablets. Chemotherapy is usually given as a course of several sessions (or cycles) of treatment over a few months. The length of your treatment and the number of cycles you have will depend on which type of cancer or leukaemia you are being treated for.

Leukeran may be prescribed for conditions other than cancer. Leukeran dosage may be reduced and therefore the side effects may vary (for a complete list of side effects please visit our dedicated leukeran page by clicking here).

When using Leukeran you must know that using this drug can involve some risks. These risks may include:
*Risk of blood clots
Cancer can increase your risk of developing thrombosis, also known as blood clot, and having chemotherapy may increase this risk further. A blood clot may cause symptoms such as pain, redness and swelling in a leg, or breathlessness and chest pain. Blood clots can be very serious so it is important to tell your doctor straightaway if you have any of these symptoms. However, most clots can usually be successfully treated with drugs to thin the blood. Your health care provider can provide more detrailes about this risk.

*Taking other medicines
Some other medicines can be harmful to take when you are under a chemotherapy treatment. Notify your health care provider about any medications you are taking, including non-prescribed drugs such as complementary therapies and herbal drugs.

*The ability to procreate
Your ability to become pregnant or father a child may be affected by taking this drug. It is important to discuss fertility with your doctor before starting treatment.

*In case of contraception
It is not advisable to become pregnant or father a child while taking Leukeran, as the developing fetus may be harmed. It is necessary to use effective contraception while taking this drug, and for at least a few months afterwords. Discuss this with your health care provider if you have any doubts and before beginning your treatment with Leukeran.
