Hi Zita.
I'm glad you still have no symptoms even after having MDS for years.
The
Vidaza.com website run by the drug's manufacturer, Pharmion, has the basic information about Vidaza, explaining that it is an injectable form of azacitidine for treatment of MDS. You did ask a
question about Vidaza once before at Marrowforums, in 2006. Since that time, a second method of administration has become available. In addition to subcutaneous injection, Vidaza can be given by IV infusion (see
news report from last February).
On that website is a downloadable
Prescription Information file (PDF, 112K) with dosage information, clinical trial results, and the most commonly reported side effects.
We've had a number of discussions about Vidaza in these forums since 2006, so in addition to watching for comments here and by email, you might use the
search page to identify the latest threads where Vidaza was mentioned. Type "vidaza" in the
Key Word(s) box.
