Lexi-Comp has noted an error in
Drug Information Handbook for Oncology, 3rd Edition (2003):
The Error:
The combination chemotherapy regimen, CNOP (as found
in the section entitled “Alphabetical Listing of Chemotherapy
Regimens” on p. 776) contains an error in the dosage
of vincristine. It inadvertently calls for the administration
of the drug on days 1-5 instead of on day 1 only. The
correct dosage for vincristine is:
Vincristine: I.V.: 1.4 mg/m2day 1
As each drug dosage found in the Alphabetical Listing is also
found within specific drug monographs (fieldname: Combination
Regimens), the vincristine error also requires correction
on p.750 (line 16).
