2.3 Other hazards
Procarbazine is an anti-cancer agent that inhibits DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, and can affect normal, rapidly proliferating cells. It also exhibits monoamine oxidase inhibitory (MAOI) activity. The most common adverse effects associated with use of procarbazine include gastrointestinal disturbances and bone marrow suppression, characterized by decreases in platelets and white and red blood cells. Various central nervous system (CNS) effects, resulting from the drug's MAOI activity, may also occur (e.g., dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, SECTION 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION …continued
Other hazards
sleep disturbances, tremors, changes in blood pressure or heart rate, and numbness …continued in the extremities). Overdosage may cause additional CNS-associated symptoms, which may manifest 12 hours post exposure and peak at 24-48 hours. Procarbazine exposure has been identified as an independent risk factor for acute ovarian failure and acute amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) in women. There are case reports of malformations in the offspring of women taking this drug as a part of a combination therapy regimen. Azoospermia (absence of sperm in semen), which can be prolonged, has also been reported in men with procarbazine when used in combination therapy. Secondary malignancies (including lung cancer and leukemias) have been reported in patients treated with procarbazine in combination therapies. Talc is irritating to the respiratory system, causing cough, shortness of breath, rapid breathing, sneezing, vomiting, and pulmonary edema - cardiorespiratory arrest may also occur following severe aspiration.
