Low-dose cytarabine for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML)

Low-dose cytarabine is a non-intensive treatment. It can be used on its own to treat some people with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).

We cover what low-dose cytarabine is, who might have it and how to have it. We also cover its main side effects and any special precautions you may need to take while you’re on it.

You can order printed copies of this leaflet free to UK addresses.
