Hexalen® and Drug Warnings , #19



As I prepare to begin taking my six doses of Hexalen ® a day, the warnings on the container caught my eye again.



Verrry interesting:
These days people are so cautious about surfaces we touch,
the door knobs we don't touch after washing our hands,
the frequent use of hand sanitizers, and yesterday someone mentioned--
touching the bottles of condiments at restaurant tables that have been used by unknown hands.

Back to the label, my cancer-killing medication container is advising me to wash my hands AFTER I touch the medication.

I guess I better do what I'm told, but shouldn't I wash my hands BEFORE I take the medicine?

  2. Yes, so difficult to know our body needs these drugs in order to rid our bodies of those crazy cancer cells. Maybe in a few more years, the targeted therapies will just do the job and we won't have the very difficult side effects.
