Herceptin Dosage from Herceptin.com

Janelle,
I hope you are settled in you new home. I copied the following from Herceptin.com. I assume that you are on a weekly schedule.

Warmest Regards

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Usual Dose The recommended initial loading dose is 4 mg/kg Trastuzumab administered as a 90-minute infusion. The recommended weekly maintenance dose is 2 mg/kg Trastuzumab and can be administered as a 30-minute infusion if the initial loading dose was well tolerated. HERCEPTIN may be administered in an outpatient setting. HERCEPTIN is to be diluted in saline for IV infusion. DO NOT ADMINISTER AS AN IV PUSH OR BOLUS. (See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Administration.)

Seems to me my loading dose was 360mg and I get 240 mg every 3 weeks, and I weigh 140#.
Hugs
Sheila
