As SLB points out you can have Vidaza administered as an infusion over one to two hours... For the sake of expediency, they administer it as a shot, and many tolerate it well...

When I had Dacogen (similar to Vidaza) last year, I would go at lunch time, and get it as an infusion, and never had a reaction...

It really is a time saving as well as cost saving 'insurance' thing... But you can ask before next time if they can give you the infusion...

All the Best, and may God Bless...
