Description
Carmustine belongs to the group of medicines known as alkylating agents. It is used to treat certain types of brain cancer.
Carmustine interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected by carmustine, other effects may also occur.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
