How is SACT given?

Your SACT will be given by a specially qualified SACT nurse.

SACT is given in many ways, including:

• by mouth - as tablets or capsules • by infusion directly into a vein (intravenous) - this can be given by using a syringe or by an infusion bag (drip) • by an injection directly under the skin (sub-cutaneous) • by continuous infusion using a special infuser (multi-day infusor) Intravenous treatment may be given through a small catheter (cannula) inserted into the hand or arm, via a Hickman line, PICC or a port. These will be explained (if relevant to you) by the nurse.

SACT can be given along with other drug therapies and/or supportive medication.
