  Adverse reactions

  Commonly causes neutropenia. If absolute neutrophil count (ANC) falls below 0.5 x 109/L and if it is thought not to be due to CMV disease, withhold medication until ANC is above 0.75 x 109/L then restart medication at half dose. If ANC falls below 0.5 x 109/L again, consider discontinuing the medication.
  Can also cause anaemia and thrombocytopenia. Discontinue medication if platelet count below 25 x 109/L or haemoglobin less than 80 g/L occurs and is thought not to be due to CMV disease.
