Paclitaxel Dosing (Cont.)

General Information on Dosing With Paclitaxel

Considerations for people taking paclitaxel include the following:
 
  • The medication is given through an IV.
     
  • Most people receive their paclitaxel injection at their healthcare provider's office, hospital, or at an "infusion center."
     
  • For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. Paclitaxel will not work as well if you stop taking it before your healthcare provider recommends.
     
  • If you are unsure about anything related to paclitaxel or paclitaxel dosing, talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. Do not stop taking the drug without discussing it with your healthcare provider.
