Transcription of National Dose Banding Table – Single Container
1 Chemotherapy dose Standardisation National dose Banding Table Single Container Strength of raw material (after reconstitution if required) 50 mg/mL Example drug(s) Fluorouracil (mg)* See Table usage notes below regarding Single Container and multiple syringe tables. *Note that these doses will work for both the 25mg/mL and 50mg/mL fluorouracil vials. Master Bands and Ranges This Table is intended to be in a format useful for electronic prescribing systems. Use To (A) if your system will round UP for doses on the step between two bands. Use To (B) if your system will round DOWN for doses on the step between two bands.
2 The dose range is designed to cover drugs which may be added in the future.

The range of the tables has been extended beyond normal use, especially in the lower ranges, to allow for up to a 50% dose reduction to be used in patients who are Doses which are normally capped are highlighted in grey.

6 It is recommended that doses are only quoted as the total in an infusor (rather than as a daily dose to be added up to the total) to avoid confusion.

Multiple syringe ( pick-and-mix ) tables are for products which are supplied in combinations of syringes to make up a Single dose . Some drugs may have both a Single Container Table , and a multiple syringe Table .
8 Doses may vary between the two tables due to rounding requirements.
