Docetaxel Dosing (Cont.)

General Docetaxel Dosing Information

Some considerations for people taking docetaxel include the following:
 
  • Docetaxel is given intravenously (by IV).
     
  • Most people receive their docetaxel injection at their healthcare provider's office, a hospital, or at an "infusion center."
     
  • For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. Docetaxel will not work as well if you stop taking it before your healthcare provider recommends.
     
  • If you are unsure about anything related to docetaxel or your docetaxel dosage, talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
