Consumer:

Daunorubicin is extensively metabolized to a biologically active form within normal erythrocytes and leukocytes. Further metabolism via reduction and conjugation has been demonstrated. Approximately 40% of daunorubicin is eliminated in an active form by biliary excretion. Patients with hepatic impairment may be at increased risk for toxicity. Therapy with daunorubicin should be administered cautiously and the dosage reduced in patients with compromised hepatic function. Clinical evaluation of liver function prior to each course of treatment with daunorubicin is recommended.
