Abstract

Docetaxel, a commonly used IV chemotherapeutic agent, can produce alcohol intoxication. Alcohol is used to dissolve the active ingredients so that the drug can be given intravenously. The amount of alcohol in each dose varies according to the manufacturer. Selection of a preparation with lower alcohol content is advisable for certain patients.
