How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (MYLERAN). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Busulfan is a small, highly lipophilic molecule that easily crosses the blood brain barrier.
Following absorption, 32% and 47% of busulfan are bound to plasma proteins and red blood cells, respectively.
This probably reflects the extensive metabolism of the drug in the liver, since less than 2% of the administered dose is excreted in the urine unchanged within 24 hours.
Currently, there are no available data on the effect of food on busulfan bioavailability.

Safety of the active substance
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (MYLERAN). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
WARNING MYLERAN is a potent drug.
- MYLERAN is contraindicated in patients in whom a definitive diagnosis of chronic myelogenous leukemia has not been firmly established.
- MYLERAN is contraindicated in patients who have previously suffered a hypersensitivity reaction to busulfan or any other component of the preparation.
The most frequent, serious, toxic effect of busulfan is dose-related myelosuppression resulting in leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia.
