@255anny any discussion of reduced dosages spread out over time is my fault. My doctor wanted to do that because of my kidney and heart issues. Not sure doctors will do that for no pressing medical reason.

Just hydrate with water and depending on blood pressure/kidneys some liquid with salt according to my nephrologist. Most people do not have IV hydration, which is, I was told, equal to two big glasses of water.

You can request that the MD order an infusion for 45-60 minutes.

There is apparently a saline flush which I believe is just injected into the infusion line but I could be wrong.
