Quick Reference
What Is Chlorambucil?
Chlorambucil is an oral chemotherapy medication used in veterinary medicine to treat certain cancers and immune-mediated conditions in dogs and cats. It works by interfering with DNA replication, slowing the growth of abnormal cells. Compounded formulations allow veterinarians to prescribe precise, low-dose regimens that are not available commercially.
How Chlorambucil Works in Pets
Chlorambucil works by alkylating DNA, which disrupts cell division and leads to the death of rapidly dividing cells. In veterinary patients, it is commonly used for low-grade lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and inflammatory bowel disease, particularly in cats. Treatment protocols are individualized and require close veterinary monitoring.
