A premed before transfusions, chemo or what? I work with adults and we routinely premedicate prior to blood transfusions and some antibiotics we give. We usually give adults Tylenol, Benadryl and sometimes SoluMedrol.

In adult oncology work, I've always given an antiemetic before chemo....doesn't always work but I like to think that they'd be much worse without it....not sure if this is what you're talking about though...
