Precautions While Using This MedicineIt is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits
to make sure that this medicine is working properly and to check for
unwanted effects.
While you are being treated with floxuridine, and after you stop treatment
with it, do not have any immunizations (vaccinations)
without your doctor's approval
. Floxuridine may lower your body's resistance
and there is a chance you might get the infection the immunization is meant
to prevent. In addition, other persons living in your household should not
take oral polio vaccine since there is a chance they could pass the polio
virus on to you. Also, avoid persons who have recently taken oral polio vaccine.
Do not get close to them and do not stay in the same room with them for very
long. If you cannot take these precautions, you should consider wearing a
protective face mask that covers the nose and mouth.
