Typical dosage for Doxorubicin
Doxorubicin is given as an infusion through the vein (also called intravenous or IV). It’s given by a healthcare professional at a medical center or infusion clinic.
Your oncologist will calculate your dose of Doxorubicin based on your body surface area (BSA), taking into account your height and weight.
The general dose range is between 40 mg/m2 and 75 mg/m2 given IV once every 3 to 4 weeks.
Note: The dose depends on the type of cancer you have. It also depends on whether you’re taking it by itself or with other medications to treat your cancer. The dose can also differ based on the treatment protocol that your oncologist is following.
