How To Use Hexalen
HEXALEN: HEXALEN is taken by mouth as directed usually after meals and at bedtime. This is usually taken in a cycle for 14 or 21 days then stopped for 14 or 21 days. Do not increase your dose, take this more often or stop taking this without first consulting your doctor.
Hexalen Warning
Because altretamine can cause blood problems (e.g., bone marrow suppression, thrombocytopenia), blood tests must be done before starting HEXALEN and at least once a month thereafter. HEXALEN can also cause nervous system problems; therefore nervous system tests must be done during treatment with HEXALEN. Notify your doctor immediately if you develop signs of blood disorders or nervous system problems such as persistent fever or sore throat, easy bruising or bleeding, loss of coordination, mood changes, dizziness, tingling of the hands or feet.
