The most important side effects of Doxil are hand foot syndrome and bone marrow suppression. The hand foot syndrome occurs in a high percentage of patients. The hair loss is more moderate than with Adriamycin. Doxil is a Liposomal form of Doxirubicin (Adriamycin). Strong CYP2D6 inhibitors like Bupropion, Prozac and Paxil can increase the serum levels so if you are taking any of these antidepressants make sure the oncologist knows. Buproprion is Wellbutrin
