Pregnancy And Lactation
Category D: There is positive evidence of human foetal risk, but the benefits from use in pregnant women may be acceptable despite the risk (e.g., if the drug is needed in a life-threatening situation or for a serious disease for which safer drugs cannot be used or are ineffective).
Therapeutic
Acute overdosage may increase the toxic effects of mucositis, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Treatment includes hospitalisation of the severely myelosuppressed patient, antimicrobials, platelet transfusions and symptomatic treatment of mucositis. Use of haemopoietic growth factor (G-CSF, GM-CSF) may be considered. Cumulative dosage increases risk of cardiomyopathy and resultant congestive heart failure which may be managed with digitalis preparations, diuretics, and after load reducers such as ACE inhibitors.
