CeeNU ( loe-MUS-teen) belongs to the group of medicines known as alkylating agents. It is used to treat some kinds of cancer. CeeNU interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected by CeeNU, other effects will also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Other effects, like hair loss, may not be serious but may cause concern. Some effects may not occur for months or years after the medicine is used. Before you begin treatment with CeeNU, you and your doctor should talk about the good CeeNU will do as well as the risks of using it. CeeNU is available only with your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage form: Oral Capsules (U.S. and Canada)
