Typical dosage for Docetaxel
This medication is an injection that’s given into a vein (intravenous, IV) by a healthcare provider. Your provider will calculate your dose of Docetaxel using your body surface area (BSA, in units of m2), which takes into account your body weight and height.
Docetaxel can be given by itself or in combination with other anticancer medications, depending on the type of cancer you have and your treatment regimen.
- Breast cancer: The typical dose is 60 mg/m2 to 100 mg/m2 every 3 weeks per cycle.
- Prostate, stomach, head and neck, or non-small cell lung cancer: The typical dose is 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks per cycle.
