I would like some information about any source that I can find informations
about the reconstitution and dialysis of cytotoxic drugs and the
precautions when handling them
I have the Cytotoxics handbook but if you now something more, maybe a web
page in the internet let me know
Thanks in advance

Reconstitution information is available online at
the Web site of the BC Cancer Agency. See
http://www.bccancer.bc.ca/cdm/monographs/contents.shtml
for specific drug monographs.
Information about dialysis is spotty. Other than
a MEDLINE search I don't know of a single site that
has this info. I wrote a program concerning the
management of various mishaps with chemotherapy,
and there is some information about the effectiveness
of dialysis for overdoses of certain drugs. You can
download the program at
