Formula Information

Cyclophosphamide 30 mg/5 mL Oral Liquid is a specially formulated medication designed for oral administration. This liquid formulation provides a convenient and easily ingested dosage form, ensuring accurate delivery of medication. It is particularly beneficial for patients who find swallowing solid dosage forms challenging, such as children and the elderly.

Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent that works by interfering with the growth of cancer cells, which are then destroyed by the body. It is used to treat various types of cancer, including lymphomas, leukemias, and some solid tumors. It can also be used to treat certain kidney diseases in children, and to suppress the immune system in certain diseases where the immune system is overly active, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.

As with any medication, it is important to take Cyclophosphamide exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The dosage is based on your medical condition, weight, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. Be sure to inform your doctor of all the products you use, including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products.

Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach ache, diarrhea, or darkening of the skin/nails. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects.

It is important to note that Cyclophosphamide can interact with other medications, so it is crucial to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications you are currently taking. This includes prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal supplements. Additionally, this medication can have effects on fertility in both men and women, so if you are planning to have children, discuss this with your healthcare provider.

If you have any questions or concerns about Cyclophosphamide 30 mg/5 mL Oral Liquid, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is here to assist you with any queries you may have about this medication.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent used in the treatment of various types of cancers and autoimmune disorders. It works by interfering with the growth of cancer cells, which are then destroyed by the body. However, it can interact with a number of other medications, potentially altering their effects or increasing side effects.

One of the most significant interactions is with other medications that suppress the immune system, such as corticosteroids or other chemotherapy drugs. Combining these medications can increase the risk of infections due to a further decrease in the body's ability to fight off infections. It's important to inform your healthcare provider if you're taking any other medications that can suppress the immune system.

Another important interaction is with medications that can cause harm to the kidneys, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), certain antibiotics, and some blood pressure medications. Cyclophosphamide can cause kidney damage, and combining it with other potentially nephrotoxic drugs can increase this risk. Regular monitoring of kidney function is recommended when these drugs are used together.

Live vaccines should be avoided while taking cyclophosphamide, as the immune response to the vaccine may be diminished and there is a risk of developing the disease that the vaccine is intended to prevent. It's recommended to discuss your vaccination status with your healthcare provider before starting treatment with cyclophosphamide.

Alcohol can interact with cyclophosphamide, increasing the risk of liver damage and other side effects. It's generally recommended to limit or avoid alcohol consumption while taking this medication.

It's important to note that this is not a complete list of potential drug interactions. Other medications, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal products, and dietary supplements, can also interact with cyclophosphamide. It's crucial to inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements you're currently taking to avoid potential interactions.

Patients should also be aware that cyclophosphamide can cause nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and hair loss. If these side effects become severe or persist, it's important to contact your healthcare provider. Regular blood tests will be required to monitor your response to cyclophosphamide and check for side effects.

If you have any questions about cyclophosphamide or its potential interactions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent that works by interfering with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. It is a prodrug, which means it is metabolized in the liver to its active form, 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide. This active metabolite then interferes with the DNA in cancer cells, preventing them from dividing and growing. This ultimately leads to cell death and a reduction in the size of the tumor.

The oral liquid formulation of Cyclophosphamide 30 mg/5 mL is designed to provide a convenient and easily ingested dosage form. This is particularly beneficial for patients who have difficulty swallowing solid dosage forms, such as tablets or capsules. The liquid formulation allows for accurate dosing and can be easily adjusted to meet the specific needs of each patient. It is also ideal for pediatric and geriatric populations who may have difficulty swallowing or require lower doses.

Cyclophosphamide is used to treat various types of cancer, including lymphoma, leukemia, ovarian cancer, and breast cancer. It can also be used to treat certain kidney diseases in children, and to suppress the immune system in conditions such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. The medication works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells and by suppressing the immune system. It is often used in combination with other medications to achieve the best possible outcome for the patient.

These can include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and hair loss. More serious side effects can include a decrease in blood cell counts, which can increase the risk of infection and bleeding. Therefore, regular blood tests are often required to monitor the patient's response to treatment and to check for side effects.

If you have any questions about Cyclophosphamide 30 mg/5 mL Oral Liquid, or if you would like more information about this or any other medication, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
