It also causes apoptosis by disrupting the integrity of the mitochondrial membrane, triggering the release of cytochrome C and apoptosis-inducing factor, which are pro-apoptotic mitochondrial proteins.[1][2][3]
Route: IV, PO
Extravasation: neutral
For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
