Dosages

Oncological conditions
  • Intravenous
    • 1 month up to 18 years
      • The dose and dosing frequency of cytostatic agents depend on the condition and are very much subject to new insights. Cytostatic drugs are mostly used in oncology and haematology in combinations. For this reason, please refer to the detailed treatment protocols; it is also the reason why no dose recommendations have been included.
