Dosing and StorageBy Julie Petrausch from Wisconsin, USA on July 10, 2010 Category: ETOPOSIDE (Oral) (Capsule My Mother has small cell lung cancer, she was just switched from IV Etoposide to the capsules, she had one dose by IV yesterday along with the cisplatin. She was sent home with 16 Etoposide capsules to take at home today and tomorrow (8 per day) - She went out of town without her instructions on how to take these pills, I am unable to get ahold of her doctor until Monday. How should she take the 8 capsules of Etoposide today and tomorrow - How long between each pill? How should she store them? She did not have them refrigerated since yesterday. She just now put them in the refrigerator, because I seen on the drug info site they should be refrigerated. So my questions are: Are they still OK to take although they have not been refrigerated for a day and 1/2? And how far apart should she take each pill (8 per day)?
