Cladribine Intravenous and Posaconazole Intravenous

• Generic Name: cladribine
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Mavenclad, Leustatin

Cladribine belongs to the group of medicines called antimetabolites. It is used to treat hairy cell leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. It is also sometimes used to treat other kinds of cancer, as determined by your doctor.

Cladribine interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected by cladribine, other effects will also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Other effects may not be serious but may cause concern. Some effects may not occur for months or years after the medicine is used.

Before you begin treatment with cladribine, you and your doctor should talk about the good cladribine will do as well as the risks of using it.

Cladribine is to be administered only by or under the immediate supervision of your doctor.

• Generic Name: posaconazole
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Noxafil

Posaconazole injection is used to prevent certain fungus (yeast) infections in patients who have a weakened immune system (eg, hematopoietic stem cell transplant or HSCT recipients, or patients with blood cancers).

Posaconazole is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor.
