Cabazitaxel is used to treat prostate cancer. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells.
Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start using cabazitaxel and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
This medication is given by injection into a vein as directed by your doctor, usually every 3 weeks. A health care professional will give you the injection slowly over 1 hour.
Your doctor may prescribe other medications (such as antihistamines, H2 blockers, corticosteroids) before each injection of cabazitaxel to lessen the risk of allergic reactions and prevent side effects such as nausea/vomiting.
The dosage is based on your medical condition, body size, lab tests, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. Be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
