3. How is Cabazitaxel administered?Cabazitaxel is administered intravenously (into a vein) by a healthcare professional in a clinic or hospital setting. The dosage and frequency of administration will be determined by the patient's specific condition and medical history.

4. What are the common side effects of Cabazitaxel?Common side effects of Cabazitaxel may include neutropenia (low white blood cell count), anemia (low red blood cell count), thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, weakness, and peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage). It's important to report any side effects to your healthcare provider.

5. Who should not take Cabazitaxel?Cabazitaxel may not be suitable for everyone.
