Myleran ( byoo-SUL-fan) belongs to the group of medicines known as alkylating agents. It is used to treat some kinds of cancer of the blood. It may also be used as a conditioning regimen prior to progenitor cell transplantation for treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia. Myleran seems to act by interfering with the function of the bone marrow. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected by Myleran, other effects will also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Other effects 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 Myleran, you and your doctor should talk about the good Myleran will do as well as the risks of using it. Myleran is available only with your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage form: Oral Tablets (U.S. and Canada) Parenteral Injection (U.S.)
