Also my discharge paper gave directions for Delayed reactions for: Rash, itching skin, muscle aches, flu like symptoms, joint pain and stiff - ness using Zyrtec for 7 days and then again 5 days before next infusion. For joint or muscle pain will call in a script for Medrol Dose Pak.
Anyone else get the same info?

@lizzie12 I was only told to take tyelnol at needed, nothing else.

I am surprised at the steroid suggestion. A Medrol dose pack is pretty heavy duty. So they gave you a script?

Thanks for the info. So it's advised to take the Zyrtec after the infusion and next time 5 days before if any reactions popped up? I read somewhere to take the Zyrtec before the infusion to help. I actually was thinking about doing that the day before and maybe for 1 or 2 days after. Along with Tylenol. I don't want to make myself weaker or ill with these OTC meds but I want to do anything I can to avoid horrible reactions.
