Hi!
welcome to healthcaremagic.com.The possible side effects include-anemia, neutropenia, increased risk of bruising, hair loss, nausea and vomiting, dermatitis and diarrhea. A small percentage of patients develop hepatitis, and there is an increased risk of pulmonary fibrosis.Since it is highly teratogenic(severe effects to fetus) it is better to wait a minimum of 6months before you want to conceive after stopping the drug.
