Adverse Reactions
Gastrointestinal disturbances (stomatitis, esophagopharyngitis, diarrhea, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting), are commonly seen during therapy.
Leucopenia usually follows every course of adequate therapy. The lowest WBC counts usually occur between the 9th and 14th days after the first course of treatment and the count returns to the normal range by the 30th day.
Alopecia may occur; it is a transient effect.
Dermatitis, most oftenly seen as a pruritic maculopapular rash, usually appears on the extremities and less frequently on the trunk. It is reversible and responsive to symptomatic treatment. Dry skin, fissuring, and occasionally photosensitivity have also been observed.
Also noted were photophobia, lacrimation, epistaxis, euphoria, acute cerebellar syndrome (which may persist after discontinuation of treatment), nail changes (including loss of nails), and myocardial ischaemia.
