Cytostatics are drugs that damage or destroy tumour cells or leukaemia cells. However, they can also damage healthy cells, which is why it is important to handle them safely. Some cytostatic drugs are administered in hospital as an infusion, others can be swallowed. Oral cytostatic drugs are usually produced in the form of tablets. Some are also available as a liquid.
