Prepare Medicines to give to your child
FOR YOUR SAFETY: always wear gloves and a mask when you handle your child's chemotherapy
- Chemotherapy medicine is not safe for people without cancer
- It can enter your body through your skin or through breathing it in
- Special work area: Use a special work area when preparing your child's medicine.
- Keep people and pets away from all chemotherapy
Cutting pills: Always use a pill cutter. Using a knife or other instruments can cause the pill to crumble and your child will not get all the medicine
- Can't afford a pill cutter? Your health insurance may pay for it. Tell your doctor

*Tell your doctor: If you change the way you prepare or give the medicine
