Abstract
Cytotoxic drugs are intended primarily for the treatment of cancer. They are
known to be highly toxic to cells, mainly through their action on cell reproduction.
Many have proved to be carcinogens, mutagens or teratogens. Patients receiving
therapeutic doses of these drugs have exhibited many adverse effects, including
cancers. All people who came in contact with cytotoxic drugs and related wastes are
also at risk of exposure and possible adverse effects. In this study procedures are
defined on how to prevent or minimise the risk of exposure to cytotoxic drugs and
related wastes, Use of cytotoxic drugs includes preparation, handling, storage,
transport and disposal of these products. The Bio -Medical Waste Management
Rules,2016 have to be followed for the safe disposal of cytotoxic drugs and related
wastes.
