6.1 Clinical Trials and Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions associated with the use of cyclophosphamide were identified in clinical studies or postmarketing reports.
Because some of these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
The most common adverse reactions were neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, fever, alopecia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Cardiac : cardiac arrest, ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, cardiogenic shock, pericardial effusion (progressing to cardiac tamponade), myocardial hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, cardiac failure (including fatal outcomes), cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, pericarditis, carditis, atrial fibrillation, supraventricular arrhythmia, ventricular arrhythmia, bradycardia, tachycardia, palpitations, QT prolongation.
Congenital, Familial and Genetic: intra-uterine death, fetal malformation, fetal growth retardation, fetal toxicity (including myelosuppression, gastroenteritis).
Ear and Labyrinth : deafness, hearing impaired, tinnitus.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Myelosuppression, Immunosuppression, Bone Marrow Failure and Infections: Severe immunosuppression may lead to serious and sometimes fatal infections.
Close hematological monitoring is required.
( 5.1 ) Urinary Tract and Renal Toxicity: Hemorrhagic cystitis, pyelitis, ureteritis, and hematuria can occur.
Urotoxicity can be fatal.
Exclude or correct any urinary tract obstructions prior to treatment.
Like all medications, Cyclophosphamide can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
