Vumon

Vumon (ten-i-POE-side) belongs to the group of medicines called antineoplastics. Vumon injection is used along with other medicines to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), and neuroblastoma. Vumon interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected by Vumon, 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. Vumon is to be administered only by or under the immediate supervision of your doctor. It is available in the following dosage form: Parenteral Injection (U.S. and Canada)
