OVERDOSAGE: There is no antidote for overdosage of Cytarabine Injection. Doses of 4.5 g/m2 by intravenous infusion over 1 hour every 12 hours for 12 doses have caused an unacceptable increase in irreversible CNS toxicity and death. Single doses as high as 3 g/m2 have been administered by rapid intravenous infusion without apparent toxicity.

IMPORTANT WARNING:

For induction therapy patients should be treated in a facility with laboratory and supportive resources sufficient to monitor drug tolerance and protect and maintain a patient compromised by drug toxicity. The main toxic effect of cytarabine injection is bone marrow suppression with leukopenia, thrombocytopenia and anemia. Less serious toxicity includes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain, oral ulceration, and hepatic dysfunction.
