Etoposide comes in the form of an oral capsule. Your doctor will recommend an appropriate dose for you based on an assessment of your current medical condition, other drugs you are currently taking, and your response to treatment. Do not increase your dose or use this medication more often or for longer than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase. Before taking Etoposide, talk to your doctor about all of the medical conditions you have and all of the medications you take, including OTC and Rx drugs, vitamins, and supplements. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, because Etoposide should not be used during pregnancy.

What are the side effects of Etoposide?

Temporary hair loss may occur while you are using this drug. Normal hair growth should return after your treatment is complete. You may also experience pain or sores in the mouth and throat. Brush your teeth carefully and gently. 

Patients using this medication may experience serious side effects. However, your doctor has prescribed this drug because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Careful monitoring by your doctor may decrease your risk.

If you have symptoms of a severe skin reaction including fever, sore throat, burning eyes, or a red or purple rash with blistering and peeling, get emergency medical help.
