Oncovin is a chemotherapy drug that is used to treat many different types of cancer. Some synonyms for oncovin include vincristine, leurocristine, and Vincaleukoblastine. These drugs are all part of a family of chemotherapy drugs known as vinca alkaloids. They work by disrupting the growth and division of cancer cells, preventing them from multiplying and spreading. While these drugs can be effective in treating many types of cancer, they can also cause serious side effects such as neuropathy, bone marrow suppression, and gastrointestinal problems. Patients receiving these medications typically require close monitoring and supportive care to manage these side effects.
