Maura,
Vidaza is typically done via infusion over about 30 minutes or as injections based on doctor or patient preference. It is generally a good idea to take any anti-nausea medications offered as preventative treatment. I never had any issues with nausea or constipation while on Vidaza. Dacogen I think is done as in-patient infusions and done over a 24 hour period for 3 days - but I am not sure.
