Common side effects include low white blood cells, low red blood cells, kidney problems, low platelets, nausea, muscle pain, shortness of breath, liver inflammation, and constipation.[2] Other side effects may include infertility.[2] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby.[2] It is an alkylating agent.[2] It works by interfering with DNA duplication required for cell division.[3]
