What are the possible side effects of Carboplatin Injection?
Carboplatin Injection may cause unwanted effects, particularly because Carboplatin Injection interferes with the growth of normal cells as well as cancer cells. For example, the occurrence of another cancer (secondary malignancy) has been reported in patients receiving cancer chemotherapy with multiple drugs. It is not always possible to tell whether such effects are caused by Carboplatin Injection, another drug you may be taking, or your illness. Because some of these effects may be serious, you will need close medical supervision during treatment with Carboplatin Injection.
The most serious side effects of Carboplatin Injection are:
- •
- bleeding and reduced blood cells, including reduced red blood cells (anemia) and platelets (needed for proper blood clotting), which may be severe enough to require blood transfusion. You should tell your doctor right away if you notice any unusual bruising or bleeding, including black tarry stools or blood in the urine.
- •
- infection – Carboplatin Injection can temporarily lower the number of white blood cells in your blood, increasing the risk of infection;
- •
- life-threatening allergic reaction – during and after treatment the doctor or nurse will observe you carefully for signs of allergic reaction;
- •
- kidney and liver problems;
- •
- loss of hearing or ringing in the ears;
Contact your doctor right away if you experience any of these effects, or notice effects that worry you or are troublesome.
Of the less serious side effects associated with Carboplatin Injection treatment, the most common are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, hair loss and numbness, tingling, burning, or pain in the hands or feet.
This medicine was prescribed for your particular condition. It must be given under close medical supervision by a doctor trained in the use of drugs for the treatment of cancer. This summary does not include everything there is to know about Carboplatin Injection. Medicines are sometimes prescribed for purposes other than those listed in patient leaflets. If you have questions or concerns, or want more information about Carboplatin Injection, your physician and pharmacist have the complete prescribing information upon which this information is based. You may want to read it and discuss it with your doctor. Remember, no written summary can replace careful discussion with your doctor.
