I guess, you received the general information. But in case you want to read the description and found out more about doses, side effects, etc., I recommend to check Canadian Pharmacy Online. I’m sure, you will find it helpful.
The recommended dose of cylophosphamide varies widely according to the specific condition being treated, the response to therapy and other medications being used. The dose is based on body weight. It is available as an intravenous (into the vein) injection and as an oral tablet. The injectable form is injected into through a specially prepared site on the skin. The dosing regimen for this medication varies widely. Tablets are sometimes taken on a daily basis in smaller doses, but can also be given in larger doses for a few days at a time with two- to four-week intervals between doses. The intravenous form of the medication is sometimes administered twice a week, but larger doses may be given every three to four weeks depending on the condition being treated. The intravenous form of cyclophosphamide is always given under the supervision of a doctor. Very careful handling of this medication is required. It is always given in a hospital or similar setting with access to sterile equipment

Cytoxan is part of a group of medications called alkylating agents. Cytoxan itself is not active against cancer, but it is metabolized by the liver into its active form. The active form causes “cross-linking” of DNA cells. When DNA is cross-linked, it can no longer function properly. Since DNA is essential for cells to grow and multiply, alkylating medications prevent cell growth and multiplication and may cause cell death.
