Injection Needle Size

Roger,
One thing we've learned in my husband receiving the Vidaza Injections. They should only inject with the 1 inch needles. Whenever they use a 1/2 inch needle, the vidaza is too close to the skin surface and causes a lot of redness. One of the Nurses told my husband not to allow them to use a 1/2 inch needle ever again. Perhaps 1 out of 10 times the needle brought to his table is a 1/2 inch and my husband tells them to get a 1 inch needle instead. They do without question...

Hope this helps... Cindy
