Human formulations: Tarabine® (Adria), Cytarabine® (Faulding), Cytosar-U® (Gensia Sicor), and generic cytarabine. Veterinary formulations: None Uses of Cytarabine Cytarabine may be used for the following conditions:
Myeloproliferative disease (leukemias) CNS lymphoma Granulomatous meningoencephalitis Precautions and Side Effects Cytarabine can cause severe side effects, including death, in some animals. Cytarabine should not be used in animals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to the drug or in those with active meningeal infection. Cytarabine may cause fetal harm and should probably be avoided in pregnant animals. Myelosuppression occurs with cytarabine, leading to leucopenia. Anemia and thrombocytopenia may also occur. Proper monitoring of blood work is essential with this drug. Peak myelosuppression occurs after about a week of treatment. Hyperuricemia may occur during treatment in human patients, so it may be prudent to check blood uric acid levels during treatment. Drug Interactions Cytarabine may interact with other medications. Consult with your veterinarian to determine if other drugs your pet is receiving could interact with cytarabine. Such interactions may include: How Cytarabine is Supplied Dosing Information
The dosage prescribed may vary depending on the reason for prescribing. The duration of administration depends on the condition being treated, response to the medication and the development of any adverse effects. Be certain to complete the prescription unless specifically directed by your veterinarian. Even if your pet feels better, the entire treatment plan should be completed to prevent relapse. Cytarabine is frequently used as part of a multi-drug chemotherapeutic regimen. *Doses and routes of administration vary.* In dogs, the usual dose is 100 mg/m2 subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously once daily for 2 to 4 days, increasing to 150mg/m2 if well tolerated.

In cats, the usual dose is100 mg/m2 subcutaneously or intravenously once daily for 2 to 4 days; then 10 mg/m2, once daily for 2 weeks. |
