Cisplatin Dosage

This medication is an injection that’s given into a vein (intravenous, IV) by a healthcare provider. Your provider will calculate your dose of cisplatin using your body surface area (BSA, in units of m²), which takes into account your body weight and height.

Your dose and infusion schedule depends on the type of cancer you have. It can also differ if you’re getting cisplatin by itself or with other anticancer medications. Your provider will discuss your treatment plan with you.

• Advanced testicular cancer: A possible dosing regimen is 20 mg/m² given IV daily for 5 days every 3 weeks.
