How Many Shots of Vidaza Per Visit?
I just finished my second round of Vidaza. In the first round I was given my dosage of 150mg in two shots, one on each arm, or one on either side of my belly. I tolorated it well, although I had discomfort from the shots for days. For my second round they started giving me three shots instead of the two. So thats seven more punctures over the same period which just increases the discomfort. I asked why the three shots, and one nurse said the pharmacy tech had begun to put it in three syringes. She said he told her it was sort of thick so that's why he did it.
I called Celgene, the manufacturer, and also looked on their website. The say to just use the two shots.
I will start my third round in about two weeks and will tell my doc I want just two shots per visit.
Have any of you had your treatment broken into three shots?
