Hi Believe
It goes by body surface area. I saw a chart for "average" body surface area. It was 1.95 sq.m for men and 1.60 sq.m for women The general amount of adria is 550 mg/m2, so if you multiply that out, it would be 1073mg for men and 880mg for females. I think it is cumulative for all the "rubicin" drugs. (doxorubicin) The 550 number is the amount considered safest (?) for avoiding heart damage. |
