Vidaza Information

Chirley;
Do you have a good rapport with your pharmacist? If so - ask him to get into his medical computer, and print out all of the information on Vidaza. Too - have you checked out the Physician's Desk Reference? Some of what you read may be 'gobletygook' to you - but if I can help, let me know.
Also - the pharmacist may also be able to give you the package insert from the manufaturer. If not - email the manufacturer and ask for a copy of the drug indications/contra-indications and specific uses. This is true of any drug that you take.
Eons ago, when I was in nursing school - you had to hand write your drug cards, but I went the extra mile, and my pharmacist always gave me a package insert (they generally throw them away) and I attached it to my drug card and care plan. Got kudos from the instructors for making the extra effort. Good Luck To You.
