For patients with persistent Grade 3 neurosensory events, discontinuing therapy should be considered. The infusional 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin regimen need not be altered.
=====Condition3=====
* A dose reduction of ELOXATIN to 75 mg/m2 and infusional 5-fluorouracil to 300 mg/m2 bolus and 500 mg/m2 22 hour infusion is recommended for patients after recovery from grade 3/4 gastrointestinal (despite prophylactic treatment) or grade 4 neutropenia or grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia. The next dose should be delayed until: neutrophils ≥1.5 × 109/L and platelets ≥75 × 109/L.
* Dose Modifications in Therapy in Previously Untreated and Previously Treated Patients with Advanced Colorectal Cancer
* Dosing Information

* Dose Modifications in Therapy for Patients with Renal Impairment
=====Condition4=====
* In patients with normal renal function or mild to moderate renal impairment, the recommended dose of ELOXATIN is 85 mg/m2. In patients with severe renal impairment, the initial recommended ELOXATIN dose should be reduced to 65 mg/m2.
=====Preparation of Infusion Solution=====
* Dosing Information
* Do not freeze and protect from light the concentrated solution.
A final dilution must never be performed with a sodium chloride solution or other chloride-containing solutions.
:* Dosage
* The solution must be further diluted in an infusion solution of 250-500 mL of 5% Dextrose Injection, USP.
* After dilution with 250-500 mL of 5% Dextrose Injection, USP, the shelf life is 6 hours at room temperature [20-25°C (68-77°F)] or up to 24 hours under refrigeration [2-8°C (36-46°F)].
<!--Off-Label Use and Dosage (Adult)-->
* After final dilution, protection from light is not required.
* ELOXATIN is incompatible in solution with alkaline medications or media (such as basic solutions of 5-fluorouracil) and must not be mixed with these or administered simultaneously through the same infusion line. The infusion line should be flushed with 5% Dextrose Injection, USP prior to administration of any concomitant medication.
<!--Guideline-Supported Use (Adult)-->
* Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration and discarded if present.
* Needles or intravenous administration sets containing aluminum parts that may come in contact with ELOXATIN should not be used for the preparation or mixing of the drug. Aluminum has been reported to cause degradation of platinum compounds.
====DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS====
* ELOXATIN is supplied in single-use vials containing 50 mg or 100 mg of oxaliplatin as a sterile, preservative-free, aqueous solution at a concentration of 5 mg/mL.
