About Docetaxel

Docetaxel is a chemotherapy (anti-cancer) medicine from the taxane group. It stops cancer cells from dividing and growing. It is a prescription-only medicine given as a drip into a vein by a healthcare team, usually in a hospital chemotherapy unit. It is started and supervised by cancer specialists, and the medicine is not for use at home.

What it is used for

  • Breast cancer, alone or with other cancer medicines, including early breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes
  • Non-small cell lung cancer
  • Prostate cancer that has spread and no longer responds to hormone-lowering treatment
  • Stomach cancer (including cancer where the stomach meets the food pipe)
  • Head and neck cancer

What it is not for

  • It is not for people who are allergic to docetaxel or any ingredient in it.
  • It is not given to people with a low white blood cell count or severe liver disease.
  • It cannot be bought for self-treatment. The treatment plan, tests and timing are set by your cancer team.

Common side effects

  • Low white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets, which raise the chance of infection, tiredness, breathlessness, bruising or bleeding
  • Feeling sick, being sick, diarrhoea, constipation, tummy pain or a sore mouth and throat
  • Hair loss, and changes to nails and skin, including red, peeling palms and soles
  • Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet
  • Tiredness, loss of appetite, taste changes, headache and trouble sleeping
  • Muscle or joint pain
  • Swelling from fluid build-up, and watery or irritated eyes

Get medical help straight away if

  • Call an ambulance for sudden swelling, severe breathing difficulty, or chest pain or pressure.
  • Contact your hospital's 24-hour chemotherapy number straight away if you feel unwell, have a fever or any sign of infection. Chemotherapy can make infections become life-threatening very quickly.
  • Get urgent help for signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling of the face, or trouble breathing.
  • Get urgent help for severe tummy pain or tenderness, diarrhoea, rectal bleeding or blood in the stools. Serious gut problems can be fatal.
  • Get urgent help for new breathlessness, a lasting cough or wheezing, which can be a sign of lung inflammation.
  • Get urgent help for a spreading rash, blistering or peeling skin.
  • Get urgent help for a fast or irregular heartbeat.
  • Get urgent help for pain or swelling in an arm or leg, or sudden breathlessness, which can be signs of a blood clot.
  • Tell your team about unexplained bruising or bleeding, mouth sores that stop you eating or drinking, or blurred vision.
  • Tell your team at once about pain, swelling or skin changes where the drip goes in, as the medicine may have leaked.

Who should not take it, or should take care

  • Blood tests are done before each treatment to check blood counts and liver function.
  • Steroid tablets (such as dexamethasone) are given around treatment to lower the risk of allergic reactions and fluid build-up.
  • Tell your team about heart, lung, kidney or eye problems, high uric acid, or a past allergic reaction to paclitaxel (a similar medicine).
  • Tell your team if you are dependent on alcohol, have epilepsy or have liver problems, because the medicine contains alcohol.
  • Pregnancy: it should not be used in pregnancy unless clearly needed, and it may harm a developing baby. Use effective contraception as your team advises, during treatment and for a period afterwards.
  • Men should not father a child during treatment and for a period afterwards. It may affect male fertility, so ask about sperm storage before starting.
  • Breastfeeding is not allowed during treatment.

Medicines and drinks that can interact

  • Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you take, including shop-bought and herbal ones, as docetaxel or the other medicine may work less well or cause more side effects.
  • The alcohol in the medicine may change how other medicines work.

Always tell your doctor and pharmacist about every medicine, supplement and herbal product you take.

Using it safely

  • Treatment is given in hospital by trained staff, so there is no medicine to store or measure at home.
  • Keep your hospital's 24-hour contact number handy and use a digital thermometer if your team advises it.
  • Do not drive or use machines until you have talked to your team, as the alcohol in the medicine and the side effects can affect you.
  • Report side effects early, even if they seem small.

Common questions

Who gives docetaxel?
It is given by a healthcare team, usually in a chemotherapy day unit or during a hospital stay. It goes into a vein through a cannula or a line or port, and cancer specialists decide the plan.

Will I lose my hair?
Hair loss is a very common side effect. Skin and nail changes are also common. Your team can tell you what to expect.

Can I drive after treatment?
The leaflet says not to drive or use machines until you have talked to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist, because of the alcohol in the medicine and the side effects.

Can I get pregnant or father a child during treatment?
No. The medicine may harm a developing baby, so effective contraception is needed during treatment and for a period afterwards. Your team will tell you how long.
