procarbazine and Postpartum Amenorrhea

procarbazine has been researched along with Postpartum Amenorrhea in 13 studies

Procarbazine: An antineoplastic agent used primarily in combination with mechlorethamine, vincristine, and prednisone (the MOPP protocol) in the treatment of Hodgkin's disease.
procarbazine : A benzamide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 4-[(2-methylhydrazino)methyl]benzoic acid with the amino group of isopropylamine. An antineoplastic chemotherapy drug used for treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Metabolism yields azo-procarbazine and hydrogen peroxide, which results in the breaking of DNA strands.

( DeVita, VT; Hubbard, SM; Schilsky, RL; Sherins, RJ; Wesley, MN; Young, RC, 1981)
"Azathioprine was best tolerated, but gave only medium results whereas procarbazine, as a very potent drug, had the highest rate of side effects (especially depression of bone marrow, infections, gastrointestinal manifestations etc."1.25[Side effects in immunosuppressive therapy].
