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 a vein.
This medicine needs to be given on a fixed schedule. Be sure to keep all appointments.
Drink extra fluids so you will pass more urine while you are receiving this medicine. This may help prevent kidney problems and other unwanted effects.
You might also receive medicines (eg, dexamethasone) to help prevent unwanted reactions to the injection.
