Bleomycin Sulfate Description

Bleomycin Sulfate belongs to the general group of medicines called antineoplastics. It is used to treat several types of cancer, including cervix and uterus cancer, head and neck cancer, testicle and penile cancer, and certain types of lymphoma.

Bleomycin Sulfate seems to act by interfering with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected by Bleomycin Sulfate, other effects will also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Other effects, like darkening of skin or hair loss, may not be serious but may cause concern. Some effects may not occur for months or years after the medicine is used.

Side Effects of Bleomycin Sulfate

• Fever and chills 

• Confusion;  faintness;  wheezing 

• Chest pain;  weakness in arms or legs

• Cough;  shortness of breath;  sores in mouth and on lips 

• Bleomycin Sulfate may cause a temporary loss of hair in some people. After treatment has ended, normal hair growth should return, although it may take several months.

Before Using Bleomycin Sulfate

Allergies—Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to Bleomycin Sulfate.

Pregnancy—Studies have not been done in pregnant women. However, there is a chance that this medicine may cause birth defects if either the male or female is receiving it at the time of conception or if it is used during pregnancy. Studies in mice given large doses of Bleomycin Sulfate have shown that it causes birth defects. In addition, many cancer medicines may cause sterility which could be permanent. Although sterility has not been reported with this medicine, the possibility should be kept in mind.

Breast-feeding—Because Bleomycin Sulfate may cause serious side effects, breast-feeding is generally not recommended while you are receiving it.

Children—Although there is no specific information comparing use of Bleomycin Sulfate in children with use in other age groups, this medicine is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in children than it does in adults.

Older adults—Lung problems are more likely to occur in elderly patients, who are usually more sensitive to the effects of Bleomycin Sulfate.

Other medical problems—The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of Bleomycin Sulfate. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:

• Kidney disease—Effects of Bleomycin Sulfate may be increased because of slower removal from the body

• Liver disease—Bleomycin Sulfate can cause liver problems

• Lung disease—Bleomycin Sulfate may worsen the condition
