Dacarbazine Injection

Dacarbazine belongs to the group of medicines called alkylating agents. Zicarb is used to treat cancer of the lymph system and malignant melanoma (a type of skin cancer). Zicarb may also be used to treat other kinds of cancer, as determined by your doctor.
Zicarb interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected by Zicarb, other effects will also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Other effects, like hair loss, may not be serious but may cause concern. Some effects may not occur for months or years after the medicine is used.
