Premedication

When do those reactions typically occur? Is there a recommended pre-medication regimen? Does the drug require a specific infusion rate, titration schedule? Has this patient received this medication before? And did anything happen before previous cycles? I know for myself, whenever I was giving these types of drugs to individuals, I would be doing a full chart review to understand where they're at in their cycle and what I need to do to prevent any type of reactions from happening.

Premedications may include corticosteroids,

antihistamines, H2 receptor antagonists, antipyretics, or other medications depending on the agent and the protocol.

But administering premedications isn't enough.
