Gemcitabine should only be administered under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapeutic agents.

Your doctor will determine the correct amount and frequency of treatment with gemcitabine depending upon the type of cancer being treated and other factors. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns regarding the treatment schedule.

Furthermore, your doctor will probably want you to have regularly scheduled blood tests and other medical evaluations during treatment with gemcitabine to monitor progress and side effects.

Skin accidentally exposed to gemcitabine should be rinsed thoroughly with soap and warm water.
