The drug is associated with random cases (one in 30,000 to one in 50,000 persons) of aplastic anaemia, a serious blood disorder for which there is no cure, and which is usually fatal. It is not known why some people contract this condition and others do not and when the condition may arise. It is not dose-related. In addition, there are concerns related to potential carcinogenicity and genotoxicity of the drug as well as the potential to cause antimicrobial resistance.
