| Welcome to the BMTInfoNet Drug Database |
This guide lists many of the drugs bone marrow, stem cell and cord blood transplants patients receive during treatment. It explains why they are used and some of the possible side effects.

This guide should not be used as a substitute for a detailed discussion with your doctor and pharmacist about drugs you are being given. If you experience any side effect after taking the drug, even if they are not noted below, consult your doctor immediately.

Some of the drugs in this guide are also used outside the transplant setting. The descriptions of the drugs in this guide pertain only to their use in bone marrow, stem cell or cord blood transplantation.

| How to Locate a Drug |
You may look up a drug by typing a generic name, trade name, or abbreviation in the box on the right. Or, you can type only part of the name and search for drugs with those letters at the beginning or in the middle of the drug name.
Alternatively, you can click on one of the drugs listed on the right.
Regardless of whether you enter a generic name, trade name or abbreviation for the drug, the display will first show you the generic name for the drug, some of the possible uses and side effects, followed by the trade names and common abbreviations for the drug.
If you are searching for a drug used by transplant patients and survivors that is not in this database, please contact us at 1.888.597.7674. |
