Pre-meds/Herceptin
At the cancer clinic where I receive Herceptin, they insist on giving you a Benadryl capsule and two Tylenol tablets. They want you to take the pre-meds 1/2 an hour prior to the Herceptin infusion.
I understand, from Gina P's postings, that Benadryl suppresses the effectiveness of the Herceptin, so I just pretend to take it. I have had no adverse side effects from the Herceptin, apart from cold chills during the infusion and on days following I sometimes get cold chills in the evening when I am tired.
