Vincristine is an effective medication used to treat blood tumors such as leukemia and some childhood tumors. The drug disrupts the internal structure of cells and prevents them from dividing, which halts tumor progression.
Vincristine is given intravenously under the supervision of a specialist doctor, as it may cause neurological side effects such as numbness and weakness in the extremities, in addition to severe constipation and low red blood cells. Therefore, neurological symptoms and blood tests should be continuously monitored during treatment. Avoid taking any other medications without consulting a doctor to avoid drug interactions. It is not recommended to use it during pregnancy.
