Taxol Precautions:
Before starting Taxol treatment, make sure you tell your doctor about any other medications you are taking (including prescription, over-the-counter, vitamins, herbal remedies, etc.). Do not take aspirin, or products containing aspirin unless your doctor specifically permits this.
Do not receive any kind of immunization or vaccination without your doctor's approval while taking Taxol.
Inform your health care professional if you are pregnant or may be pregnant prior to starting this treatment. Taxol is considered pregnancy category D (Taxol may be hazardous to the fetus. Women who are pregnant or become pregnant must be advised of the potential hazard to the fetus).
For both men and women: do not conceive a child (get pregnant) while taking Taxol. Barrier methods of contraception, such as condoms, are recommended. Discuss with your doctor when you may safely become pregnant or conceive a child after therapy. Do not breast feed while taking Taxol.
