Title: Re:Vesicants - Not just for cancer patients
I totally agree with you on this one! I can think of several and frequently have to name them in depositions for lawsuits! Promethazine is still at the top of my list. Lynn

Not all vesicants are cytotoxic agents. This is a concept we have been working to teach our staff. Three years ago I couldn't find many staff nurses in our facility outside of oncology who knew the definition of the word "vesicant". We have been working to help them understand that there are everyday, non-chemo drugs that are vesicants.
