Proper Use

A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this medicine in a hospital or cancer clinic. This medicine is given through a needle placed in one of your veins.

Arsenic trioxide often causes nausea and vomiting. However, it is very important that you continue to receive the medicine, even if you have an upset stomach. Ask your doctor for ways to lessen these effects.
