Use Paraplatin (Intravenous) exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.Carboplatin is injected slowly into a vein by a healthcare provider over 15 minutes or longer. This medicine is usually given once every 4 weeks. Doses are based on body surface area (height and weight) and kidney function. Your dose may change if you gain or lose weight or if your kidney function changes. Tell your medical caregivers if you feel any burning or pain when carboplatin is injected. You may be given other medications to help prevent serious side effects or an allergic reaction. You may get infections or bleed more easily. You may need frequent medical tests and your cancer treatments may be delayed based on the results. Your kidney and liver function may also need to be tested. You may need blood transfusions while you are being treated with carboplatin.
