Product Introduction
Chlorambucil 5mg is an oral alkylating anticancer medicine for selected lymphoid malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and some lymphomas.
How to use
Swallow whole on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 3 hours after food. Do not crush or split the cytotoxic tablet. Follow the cycle calendar because continuous and intermittent regimens differ.
How it works
Chlorambucil cross-links DNA, interfering with replication and survival of susceptible malignant cells.
Side effects
Bone-marrow suppression, low white cells or platelets, nausea and vomiting can occur. Fever, unusual bruising, severe rash or a seizure needs urgent assessment.
Important information
Frequent blood counts are essential because suppression can continue after a dose is stopped. Fertility effects and fetal harm are important. People handling damaged tablets need appropriate cytotoxic precautions.
Uses
- Selected chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and Waldenström macroglobulinaemia.
Benefits
Reducing abnormal lymphoid cells can control disease-related symptoms, enlarged lymph nodes or splenic enlargement.
Why can blood counts fall after a treatment pause?
Marrow suppression can be delayed, so monitoring continues even when no tablet is being taken.
Can it affect future fertility?
Yes. Gonadal injury can occur, so fertility preservation may be relevant before treatment.
Should another person handle a crushed tablet?
No. Crushing exposes others to cytotoxic material and can alter safe administration.
Does a missed tablet mean I should double the next one?
No. The oncology team should decide how a missed dose affects the cycle.
