IV Administration of Vinca Alkaloids - Smart Pumps or Gravity?

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
