If administering vinca alkaloids via IV bag, is your practice to administer the medication via gravity infusion without a pump, or do you use an infusion pump and program as rapid infusion (e.g. 10 mins)?

Have you had any issues or seen disadvantages with administering as a gravity infusion without pumps?

Thank you,
Daniel

Dear Med Safety Officers,

Does your site allow self-administration of medications for which the package insert has language about administration by healthcare provider/professional if the patient or their partner or neighbor is purportedly a healthcare professional?

For example, this has come up for Vivitrol (naltrexone) injection at my site.
