How are we taking out Meds?

Something to think about and talk over with your doctor and if you have to start procrit

My N.P. advised me to not take both shots in the same day. So I take my INF on Fri. and Procrit on Sat. but they told me not to take Procrit again until they tell me to. My rbcs are fine now.

i did my first shot of procrit on the same day as my inf and then i ended up in the emergency room the next day. everything ended up alright, but i have since switched my procrit to a different day. i have had no problems since. good luck!

With Procrit I'm not sure it matters except when taking a CBC.  Then you want the CBC the morning before you take your procrit shot.   But my doc said it was ok to take on the same day.

Now Neupogen (for low WBC) is different, you must take it at least 24 hours or more after doing your IFN.  it cuts in to the effects of the IFN if you take it too close together.

I take my inf on Monday night and procrit shot on Wednesday morning. No extra sx due to procrit that I can tell.
