In case of injection site reaction/vein irritation, the infusion may be slowed down slightly, but must not be infused over more than one hour. Prolonged infusion increases the treatment toxicity and should be avoided. Peripheral venous comfort may be increased by warming the arm with a heat pad.

See below for SPC information. If any reaction occurs: stop the infusion and discuss with consultant. After discussion with consultant: Mild reactions eg rash: May consider re-challenge after discussion with consultant. Severe reactions Do not re-challenge. Discuss with consultant. Carboplatin SPC (Hospira (09 June 2009): Infrequent allergic reactions to carboplatin have been reported, e.g. erythematous rash, fever with no apparent cause or pruritus. Rarely, anaphylaxis, angio oedema and anaphylactoid reactions including bronchospasm, urticaria and facial oedema have occurred. These reactions are similar to those observed after administration of other platinum containing compounds and may occur within minutes. The incidence of allergic reactions may increase with previous exposure to platinum therapy; however, allergic reactions have been observed upon initial exposure to carboplatin. Patients should be observed carefully for possible allergic reactions and managed with appropriate therapy, including antihistamines, adrenaline and/or glucocorticoids.

6 Hypersensitivity Reactions Paclitaxel Hypersensitivity Reactions Paclitaxel may cause allergic reactions. See below for SPC information. If any reaction occurs: stop the infusion and discuss with consultant After discussion with consultant: Mild reactions e.g rash: May consider re-challenge after discussion with consultant. Severe reactions Do not re-challenge. Discuss with consultant. Paclitaxel SPC (Hospira 31 Nov 2010). Significant hypersensitivity reactions: As characterised by dyspnoea and hypotension requiring treatment, angioedema, and generalised urticaria have occurred in <1% of patient receiving paclitaxel after adequate premedication. These reactions are probably histamine-mediated. In the case of severe hypersensitivity reactions paclitaxel infusion should be discontinued immediately, symptomatic therapy should be initiated and the patient should not be re-challenged with paclitaxel. Macrogolglycerol ricinoleate (polyoxyl castor oil), an excipient in the medicinal product, can cause these reactions.
