As a charity, we rely on voluntary contributions to provide this information. This factsheet describes vinorelbine, how it is given, and some of its possible side effects. What it looks like A pale yellow fluid. It may also be given through a central line which is inserted into a vein near the collarbone. What are the possible side effects Each person's reaction to chemotherapy is unique .
Some people have very few side effects, while others experience more.
We have outlined the commonest and the less common effects, so you can be aware of them if they occur. However, we have not included those which are very rare and therefore extremely unlikely to affect you. If you do notice any effects which you think may be due to the drug, but which are not listed in the factsheet, please discuss these with your doctor or chemotherapy nurse. This factsheet should help you to discuss any queries about your treatment and its effects with your doctor or chemotherapy nurse, as they are in the best position to help and advise you. The side effects described on this factsheet will not affect everyone who is given vinorelbine, and may be different if you are having more than one chemotherapy drug.
