Vumon is a drug used to treat specific types of cancer such as acute leukemia and lymphoma. It contains teniposide, which works to disrupt the function of important enzymes within the cancer cell, which leads to DNA damage and the cell stops dividing. Vumon is characterized by targeting rapidly dividing cells and affecting them precisely, which makes it effective in some cases that do not respond to other treatments. It is given intravenously very slowly and under the supervision of a specialist doctor, because
Vumon may cause a decrease in blood cells, nausea, dizziness, and sometimes mouth ulcers. The patient must be closely monitored during the treatment period and avoid using any other medications without consulting a doctor. It is also strictly prohibited during pregnancy.
