General information
Class/mechanism: Exact mechanism unknown, but suspected to inhibit DNA synthesis, with some evidence inhibition of RNA and protein synthesis. When administered intrapleurally for malignant pleural effusion, bleomycin acts as a sclerosing agent.[1][2]
Route: IV, IM, SC, intrapleural
Extravasation: irritant or neutral, depending on reference
- 1 unit of bleomycin = 1 mg of bleomycin
