Indications

Docetaxel is used for breast, non-small cell lung, prostate, gastric, and head and neck cancers, often after prior chemotherapy. It is prepared as a ready-to-dilute concentrate, infused after dilution, and requires caution in pregnancy and CYP3A4 drug interactions.

Dosage and administration

Patients should receive corticosteroid premedication (e.g., dexamethasone) before docetaxel to reduce fluid retention and hypersensitivity reactions. Dosing varies by cancer type, typically 60–100 mg/m² every 3 weeks, often in combination with other chemotherapy agents and supportive care.
