@bettersleep68 The dosage for Vidaza may be adjusted depending on lab results. So your starting round of chemo may be than subsequent rounds.
You’re asking what the actual dosage of Vidaza is in mg.
This is directly from the Vidaza website on their packaging insert: “Recommended starting dose for the first treatment cycle, for all patients regardless of baseline hematology laboratory values, is 75 mg/m2 subcutaneously or intravenously, daily for 7 days. Premedicate patients for nausea and vomiting.
Obtain complete blood counts, liver chemistries and serum creatinine prior to the first dose.
~Subsequent Treatment Cycles for Adults
Repeat cycles every 4 weeks. The dose may be increased to 100 mg/m2 if no beneficial effect is seen after 2 treatment cycles and if no toxicity other than nausea and vomiting has occurred. It is recommended that patients be treated for a minimum of 4 to 6 cycles. However, complete or partial response may require additional treatment cycles. Treatment may be continued as long as the patient continues to benefit.
Monitor patients for hematologic response and renal toxicities, and delay or reduce dosage if necessary.
