Pulmonary infection, preexisting pulmonary function impairment, renal impairment. Patients who received radiotherapy, particularly to the thorax. Regular chest x-rays should be done. Elderly. Discontinue treatment if chest x-rays show infiltrates or breathlessness occurs.
Drug Side Effects ::
Fever, thrombophloebitis (inj). Acute anaphylactoid reactions, hyperpyrexia. Rash, erythema, pruritus, vesiculation, hyperkeratosis, nail changes, alopecia, hyperpigmentation, striae, stomatitis. Potentially Fatal: Pulmonary toxicity, interstitial pneumonitis, fibrosis, cardiorespiratory collapse in patients with lymphoma.

Drug Mode of Action ::
Bleomycin causes breakage of single- and double- stranded DNA by binding to DNA and inhibiting DNA synthesis. To a lesser extent, it also inhibits RNA and protein synthesis. It causes very little bone marrow suppression.
Drug Interactions ::
Increased incidence and severity of lung toxicity w/ previous or concurrent radiotherapy to the chest. Combination w/ vinca alkaloids may result to a syndrome corresponding to morbus Raynaud, ischaemia which can lead to necrosis of peripheral parts of the body (fingers, toes, nose tip). May reduce the absorption of phenytoin. Increased risk of agranulocytosis w/ clozapine. Potentially Fatal: Increased pulmonary toxicity w/ oxygen, cisplatin or brentuximab.
