    Glossary Cytotoxic Drugs

    medications that kill or inhibit rapidly dividing cells

    Cytotoxic drugs, also known as chemotherapeutic agents, are medications designed to kill or inhibit the growth of rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer cells. While effective in treating various cancers, these drugs can also affect healthy cells that divide quickly, like those in hair follicles, leading to side effects such as hair loss (alopecia).
