Received Accepted Published Abstract Purpose Phlebitis caused by intravenous infusion of antineoplastic agents is one of the critical problems when anticancer therapy is prolonged. We have already reported that both rapid infusion and dilution of the injection solution were effective methods for reducing phlebitis caused by vinorelbine VNR in rabbits. The aim of this study was to explore other practical methods for preventing phlebitis caused by VNR and doxorubicin DXR in a rabbit model. VNR is often used with cisplatin and dexamethasone DEX has been co-administered for prevention of cisplatin-induced nausea. DXR is used with prednisolone PSL in the CHOP regimen for the treatment of non-Hodgkin s lymphoma. Therefore the present study investigated the prevention of phlebitis due to VNR with DEX and that due to DxR with pSl. Methods VNR and DXR were diluted with normal saline to prepare test solutions at concentrations of mg mL and mg mL respectively. Each test solution was infused .
