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.

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.
