Carboplatin Premedication Timing

Hello, 

Our network of outpatient infusion centers is noticing an increase in ADRs with carboplatin (domestic products, not imported from China). We were wondering if the timing of our premedications had any effect. We give our premeds early in the process and patients may get other therapies prior to getting their carbo dose.

How far in advance does your facility administer its premedications? 

Thank you,
