Bleomycin sulfate and Leukopenia - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Leukopenia is reported as a side effect among people who take Bleomycin sulfate (bleomycin sulfate), especially for people who are male, 50-59 old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Cyclophosphamide, and have Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Leukopenia when taking Bleomycin sulfate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 3,635 people who have side effects when taking Bleomycin sulfate from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
