The length of each paclitaxel infusion session can vary depending on the specific treatment regimen being used and the individual patient’s response to the medication. In general, each infusion session can take anywhere from one to several hours. During the infusion, healthcare professionals will carefully monitor the patient’s vital signs and look for any signs of an allergic reaction or other side effects.
Patients may be given medications to help prevent or manage side effects. After the infusion is complete, patients may be observed for a short period to ensure that they are stable and not experiencing any adverse reactions.
