A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this medicine in a medical facility. It is given through a needle placed into one of your veins. This medicine must be given slowly, so the needle will have to stay in place for at least 15 minutes once a day on Days 1 to 5 of a 21-day cycle.
Your doctor may also want you to stay for at least 4 hours to check for unwanted effects.
You may receive other medicines (eg, allergy medicine, fever medicine, steroid, stomach medicine) about 60 minutes before each infusion to prevent unwanted effects.
