• • Consider evaluating the health-care system's total supply of docetaxel before beginning patients on combination chemotherapy regimens containing docetaxel. If adequate supplies are not available, select an alternative regimen.

  • Consult a Hematology/Oncology specialist for patient- and neoplasm-specific recommendations.
  • Refer to the ASHP Guidelines on Managing Drug Product Shortages for more guidance on developing a multidisciplinary plan when the supply must be allocated. https://www.ashp.org/-/media/assets/policy-guidelines/docs/guidelines/managing-drug-product-shortages.pdf
