The dose is 160mg (6.4 ml)which was given as 2 x 3.2 ml subcutaneous injections daily for 7 days every 28 days 10/09 to 12/09 and was discontinued due to significant drop in the platelets. We are starting with low ANC but hopefully this patient will tolerate Vidaza IV. Please send e-mail if experience with IV Vidaza.

My main problem are the platelets are quite low and I need transfusions to replace them , two in Nov, one in Dec, two in Jan, two in Feb, two in March, one in May, four in June, and one in Sept. I do feel good with a good appetite. My doctor feels that I might need Vidaza indefinitely. Keep in touch with me. I have been on IV VIDAZA for four days a week every month since Nov. 2008.
