Deb,
Steve is right. Zofran or ONDANSETRON HCL 8 MG is the best med for Vidaza. We went through 3 months of another med (Compazine or the generic Prochlorperazine 10 mg) and it didn't work all the time. The nurse explained that even though they both prevent nausea, they do it differently. The first one we tried was for nausea like in motion sickness where Zofran works in the stomach. Not sure I understand it but it works well. The past 4 cycles have been much, much easier.
Bob gets Vidaza injections instead of IV and had just a little redness at the injection sites. No itching at all. The best part about injection is it's quick. In and out of the office in about 15 minutes. His counts do drop but rebound fairly well and no issues.
