How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (ETOPOSIDE). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Etoposide has been shown to cause metaphase arrest in chick fibroblasts.
Its main effect, however, appears to be at the G 2 portion of the cell cycle in mammalian cells.
In children, approximately 55% of the dose is excreted in the urine as etoposide in 24 hours.

Safety of the active substance

Warnings Etoposide should be administered under the supervision of a qualified physician experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
