You should inform your prescriber if you have a medical history of bone marrow or kidney disease, or of such viral infections as Epstein-Barr, herpes zoster or viral infections affecting the brain or spinal cord. Also, as Fludara may weaken your immune system, it is recommended that you avoid coming in contact with patients that are suffering from contagious diseases.

Fludara is not safe to use during pregnancy.

Fludara Intake Guidelines

Fludara is normally administered in a hospital or a clinic under the strict supervision of an authorized health care professional. The drug will be administered slowly through an intravenous infusion. In most cases, the administration time is of roughly 30 minutes.

You should avoid getting any of the medicine in the eyes, on the mucous membranes (the inside of the mouth or nose) or on the skin. In case some of the medicine comes in contact with your skin, you should immediately wash with water and soap. If you got some Fludara in your eyes, you should wash the eyes thoroughly with clean water.

Regular blood testing and other clinical examinations are routinely performed during your therapy with Fludara in order to monitor the organism’s response to the treatment and to detect any signs of complications that may appear. It is very important that you do not miss any scheduled follow-up visits.

Fludara Dosage

The exact Fludara dosage will vary greatly from one case to another, as it is determined by the examining health care professional based on a number of factors that are specific to each case. Typically, the Fludara doses are administered for 5 days in a row every four weeks. Once the follow up examinations show a positive response of the organism to the medication therapy, the supervising health care professional may change the dosage or the frequency of the doses. You will be able to obtain more specific information regarding your medication dosage from your personal health care provider or from the supervising health care professional.

Fludara Overdose

An overdose with Fludara may cause serious complications and is much more likely to cause the appearance of severe side effects. However, as this drug is typically administered under the strict supervision of an authorized health care professional, an overdose with Fludara is unlikely.
