The medication is injected though a vein and burns if it leaks under the skin. It is sometimes used in combination with other anticancer drugs.

A major problem with Teniposide is the lowered count of white blood cells 1-2 weeks after treatment. Though they should return to normal after 3-4 weeks, the decreased count puts a user at a risk of infection. The same also occurs for platelets.
