General preventive measures include using alternative hepatotoxic drugs whenever possible, correcting risk factors. If possible; by adjusting the dosage, monitoring liver function and vital signs during therapy; and avoiding hepatotoxicity drug combinations. Hepatotoxicity is a poisonous effect of some substances, both toxic chemicals and medication on the liver. Treatment of cancer is always associated with such type of side effects, and this one of the major problems associated with chemotherapy. Chemo protective agents are still a new ground of study and study will likely give up agents with superior selectivity for healthy tissue as well as the aptitude to protect a larger number of tissue types. A variety of drugs have been developed to organize side effects related to chemotherapy, including Erythropoietics for anemia (Epogen, Darbepoetin), Antiemetics for nausea and vomiting (e.g. Ondansetron, Aprepitant), and Immunostimulators for neutropenia
