Overview
Taxotere 20mg/1ml Injection contains Docetaxel 20mg/1ml and is available as an injection. It is classified as a prescription medicine and may only be obtained with a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.
Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.
DoctorOnCall is a licensed online pharmacy. Orders for Taxotere 20mg/1ml Injection are processed only after a doctor has assessed your suitability and issued a prescription, and every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is sent out.
Directions for Use
This medicine is prepared and administered only by trained healthcare professionals as an IV infusion. Patients are usually given a corticosteroid (such as dexamethasone) before each infusion, as directed by the oncology team, to reduce the risk of fluid retention and hypersensitivity reactions.
Dosage
Docetaxel is dosed by the treating oncologist based on body surface area, the specific cancer being treated, other medicines given alongside it, and the patient’s blood counts and organ function, then given as a timed intravenous infusion in a hospital or specialist infusion setting – this is never a self-administered or fixed home dose.
Shelf Life
Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging; this medicine is stored and handled only by healthcare facilities.
Storage Instructions
Stored under controlled conditions by the pharmacy or hospital as specified by the manufacturer; not intended for home storage.
Side Effects
- Low blood cell counts, including neutropenia (low white cells), which increases infection risk, and can occasionally be severe (febrile neutropenia)
- Hair loss (alopecia)
- Fluid retention (swelling of the legs, weight gain)
- Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy)
- Mouth sores (stomatitis) and fatigue
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to docetaxel or polysorbate 80
- Severe liver impairment
- Baseline neutrophil count below the threshold set by the treating oncologist
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding, unless specifically directed otherwise by the oncology team
Drug / Food Interactions
- Medicines that strongly affect liver enzymes (such as certain antifungals, ketoconazole-type drugs, and some HIV protease inhibitors) can significantly change docetaxel levels and are managed carefully by the oncology team.
- Other chemotherapy or bone-marrow-suppressing medicines can increase the risk of severe low blood counts when combined.
- Inform your oncology team of every medicine, supplement, and herbal product you are taking before each cycle.
Quick Tips
- Contact your care team immediately if you develop a fever, chills, or signs of infection during treatment – these can indicate a low white blood cell count that needs urgent attention.
- Report any numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hands or feet to your oncology team.
- Attend all scheduled blood tests before each infusion cycle, as these determine whether treatment can safely proceed.
- Tell your care team about any new swelling, breathlessness, or rapid weight gain, which may signal fluid retention.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Taxotere 20mg/1ml Injection a prescription medicine?
Yes. Taxotere 20mg/1ml Injection is a prescription-only medicine (POM). It can only be supplied against a valid prescription written by a registered doctor, and it should be used only by the person named on the prescription label.
What does Taxotere 20mg/1ml Injection contain?
Taxotere 20mg/1ml Injection is supplied as an injection and contains Docetaxel 20mg/1ml. The full composition is listed in the Composition section on this page and on the product packaging.
Why is there no information here about what Taxotere 20mg/1ml Injection is for?
Malaysian rules for prescription medicines limit public product pages to product, safety and handling information. Your doctor decides whether this medicine is appropriate for you and will explain it during your consultation, and your pharmacist can answer further questions when the medicine is dispensed.
How should I take Taxotere 20mg/1ml Injection?
Take it exactly as written on your prescription label. Do not increase, reduce or skip doses on your own, and do not continue beyond the period your doctor has prescribed. Practical handling steps are set out in the Directions for Use section on this page.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
Take it as soon as you remember, unless your next dose is nearly due. In that case skip the missed dose and carry on with your usual schedule. Never take two doses together to make up for a missed one. If you miss doses often, tell your doctor or pharmacist.
How should I store Taxotere 20mg/1ml Injection?
Stored under controlled conditions by the pharmacy or hospital as specified by the manufacturer; not intended for home storage. Keep it in the original pack until use, and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
What should I do if I notice side effects?
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you, and seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash. Reported reactions are listed in the Side Effects section on this page.
Can I stop taking Taxotere 20mg/1ml Injection on my own?
No. Speak to your doctor before stopping, pausing or changing the dose, even if you feel well or think you no longer need the medicine.
How do I get a prescription for Taxotere 20mg/1ml Injection?
Customers in Malaysia can complete an online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor, who decides whether a prescription is appropriate, or upload a valid prescription already issued by their own doctor.
Orders going to Singapore are dispatched from Malaysia as an international delivery, so you need to hold a valid prescription or doctor’s letter for the medicine. Check the consultation and prescription upload options shown at checkout for your delivery address before placing the order.
How long will delivery take?
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
What payment methods can I use?
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Can Taxotere 20mg/1ml Injection be delivered to Singapore?
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Is Taxotere 20mg/1ml Injection registered with the authorities?
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
