Temozolomide

Temozolomide is a medication used primarily to treat certain types of brain tumors, particularly glioblastomas. It works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, which inhibits their ability to grow and divide. Taken orally in capsule form, it's often prescribed after surgery or radiation therapy, to help control tumor growth. While it can be effective, it may also cause side effects like nausea, fatigue, and a decrease in blood cell counts. Monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential during treatment to manage any potential complications.
