This medicine is administered by a healthcare professional and should not be self-administered. It is not suitable for patients with severe liver problems, uncontrolled infections, or low white blood cell or platelet counts.

By interfering with these critical cell division processes, it helps stop the uncontrolled growth that defines cancer.
