What Are the Side Effects of Cytotoxic Antibiotics?
Like other chemotherapy agents, cytotoxic antibiotics come with a range of side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and myelosuppression. Doxorubicin has a well-documented risk of causing cardiotoxicity, while bleomycin can lead to pulmonary fibrosis. It is vital for healthcare providers to monitor patients closely for these adverse effects.
