Common side effects

• • Myelosuppression (Dose-Limiting Toxicity): It induces a steep drop in bone marrow activity, leading to severe neutropenia (critically low white blood cells), anemia, and thrombocytopenia (low platelets). This places the patient at immediate risk for life-threatening opportunistic infections or spontaneous bleeding. Weekly Complete Blood Counts (CBCs) are mandatory. • Flu-Like Symptoms: Very common within the first 48 hours of infusion, causing fever, muscle aches (myalgia), chills, headaches, and heavy sweating. • Gastrointestinal Distress: Moderate nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and painful inflammation of the mouth lining (mucositis). • Cutaneous Reactions: Mild skin rashes, itching, and transient peripheral edema (fluid swelling in the hands, ankles, or feet). Fully reversible hair thinning (alopecia) can also occur
