Caution For Usage
Incompatibilities: Do not admix doxorubicin hydrochloride with other drugs. If doxorubicin hydrochloride is mixed with heparin or fluorouracil a precipitate may form. Avoid contact with alkaline solutions which can lead to hydrolysis of doxorubicin hydrochloride. Admixture of doxorubicin hydrochloride with cefalotin sodium, dexamethasone, diazepam, or hydrocortisone sodium succinate is reported to result in immediate precipitation. Similarly precipitation has occurred when doxorubicin hydrochloride was mixed with furosemide.
Handling and Disposal:
Handle and dispose of doxorubicin hydrochloride consistent with recommendations for the handling and disposal of hazardous drugs.
In case of skin contact, thoroughly wash the affected area with soap and water or sodium bicarbonate solution. However, do not graze the skin by using a scrubbing brush.
In case of contact with eye(s), hold back the eyelid(s) and flush the affected eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Then seek medical evaluation by a physician.
Any unused product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
