The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of etoposide. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:

Proper use of etoposide
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you etoposide in a hospital or cancer treatment center. Etoposide is given through a needle placed in one of your veins. The medicine must be injected slowly, so your IV tube will need to stay in place for 30 to 60 minutes.
Etoposide is sometimes given together with certain other medicines. If you are using a combination of medicines, make sure that you take each one at the proper time and do not mix them. If you are taking some of these medicines by mouth, ask your doctor to help you plan a way to remember to take your medicines at the right times.
Etoposide often causes nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, which may be severe. However, it is very important that you continue to receive the medicine, even if you begin to feel ill. Ask your doctor for ways to lessen these effects.
Precautions while using etoposide
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that etoposide is working properly. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Using etoposide while you are pregnant can harm your unborn baby. Use an effective form of birth control to keep from getting pregnant during treatment and for at least 6 months after your last dose. If you think you have become pregnant while using the medicine, tell your doctor right away.

- Be careful not to cut yourself when you are using sharp objects such as a safety razor or fingernail or toenail cutters.
- Avoid contact sports or other situations where bruising or injury could occur.
