Talk to your doctor about the possible side effects from treatment with floxuridine.

Your doctor will determine the correct amount and frequency of treatment with floxuridine depending upon the type of cancer being treated and other factors. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns regarding the treatment schedule.

Your doctor may want to admit you to the hospital for the first dose or doses of floxuridine to monitor you for any reaction.

If for any reason an overdose of floxuridine is suspected, seek emergency medical attention or contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Symptoms of a floxuridine overdose tend to be similar to side effects caused by the medication, although often more severe.

What should I avoid while using floxuridine?

Floxuridine can lower the activity of your immune system making you susceptible to infections. Avoid contact with people who have colds, the flu, or other contagious illnesses and do not receive vaccines that contain live strains of a virus (e.g., live oral polio vaccine) during treatment with floxuridine. In addition, avoid contact with individuals who have recently been vaccinated with a live vaccine. There is a chance that the virus can be passed on to you.
