Docetaxel is a commonly used chemotherapy drug used to treat a variety of cancers, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer. It belongs to the class of drugs called paclitaxel, which inhibits tumor development by preventing cancer cells from dividing and growing. Docetaxel is usually given as an intravenous injection every three weeks. Some common side effects may occur during treatment, such as hair loss, nausea, vomiting, and a decrease in white blood cells. While using docetaxel, it is important to monitor blood levels closely and have regular physical exams. If you have serious side effects or discomfort, tell your doctor immediately. Please follow your doctor's advice and use docetaxel correctly as prescribed for optimal treatment results.
HOW TO USE: DOCETAXEL is usually given as an intravenous injection in a medical facility by a healthcare professional. Before injecting, medical staff will check the solution for clarity and absence of particulate matter. Patients need to remain quiet during the injection and follow the instructions of the healthcare provider. While receiving DOCETAXEL, patients should avoid contact with pregnant women or women who may be pregnant.
Dosage Guidelines: The dosage of DOCETAXEL will be based on the patient's body weight and medical condition. The usual starting dose is 75 mg to 100 mg per square meter of body surface area, given every three weeks. Dosage adjustments may be necessary in elderly patients or patients with renal insufficiency. For pediatric patients, dosage may be calculated differently than for adults and should be determined based on the child's body weight and body surface area. During the course of treatment, doctors will regularly check the patient's blood indicators and body response, and adjust the dosage as needed. Patients should strictly follow their physician's advice and should not adjust the dosage or stop using the medication on their own.
