Vincristine may cause side effects that do not occur for months or years after you finish chemotherapy, including leukemia or decreased ability to have children. Discuss these long-term effects with your doctor if you are concerned.

Bruising or bleeding Vincristine can reduce the production of platelets (which help the blood to clot). Let your doctor know if you have any unexplained bruising or bleeding, such as nosebleeds, blood spots or rashes on the skin, and bleeding gums.
Vincristine is injected into a vein through a specially prepared site on your skin that has been prepared for this purpose. It is usually scheduled to be given on a weekly basis. Very careful handling of this medication is required. It is always given under the supervision of a doctor in a hospital or similar setting with access to sterile equipment for preparation.
Vincristine can decrease the number of white blood cells in your body, cells that usually help you fight infections. Ask your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist how to reduce your risk of infection.
