Special Precautions for Disposal and Other Handling: The ready-to-use solution may be further diluted with 5% dextrose in water or 0.9% sodium chloride injection, up to concentrations as low as 0.5 mg/mL. As with other antineoplastic medicinal products, PARAPLATIN should be handled with care.
Impermeable gloves should always be worn when handling vials that contain PARAPLATIN to minimize the risk of skin exposure. These precautions should be taken during all handling activities in hospitals, pharmacies, storage rooms and home healthcare settings, including during opening and inspection of packages, transport within a facility, as well as dose preparation and administration.
Incompatibilities: Needles and/or intravenous administration sets should not contain aluminum components that may come in contact with PARAPLATIN. Aluminum can react with the drug causing precipitate formation and loss of potency.
