Typically used with other cancer medications, it can be given intravenously, by injection into a muscle or under the skin.〔 It may also be administered inside the chest to help prevent the recurrence of a fluid around the lung due to cancer; however talc is better for this.〔
Common side effects include fever, weight loss, vomiting, and rash. A severe type of anaphylaxis may occur. It may also cause inflammation of the lungs that can result in lung scarring. Chest X-rays every couple of weeks are recommended to check for this. Bleomycin may cause harm to the baby if used during pregnancy. It is believed to primarily work by preventing the making of DNA.〔
