This effect can weaken the immune system/increase the risk of infection, cause anemia, or cause your body to bruise or bleed easier. Tell your doctor right away if you develop any of the following: signs of infection (fever, persistent sore throat), easy bruising/bleeding, unusual tiredness, fast/pounding heartbeat.<br /><br /> When used in high doses, cladribine may cause very serious kidney or nerve problems. Nerve problems may also rarely occur in patients taking the normal dose of cladribine. Get medical help right away if you develop any of the following: change in the amount of urine, weakness/numbness/tingling in your hands/feet, or inability to move your arms/legs.<br /><br /> Cladribine may increase your risk of getting a rare but very serious (possibly fatal) brain infection (progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy-PML).
