Subcutaneous atropine 250 mcg immediately prior to irinotecan is used for the prevention of acute cholinergic syndrome.

An additional 250 mcg subcutaneous dose may be given to relieve cholinergic symptoms if they develop.

Giant cell arteritis (GCA)

Treatment:

Prednisolone, 40-60 mg (not < 0.75 mg/kg) for 4 weeks (or until symptoms and laboratory abnormalities resolve), then

Reduce dose by 10 mg every 2 weeks to 20 mg, then

Reduce dose by 2.5 mg every 2-4 weeks to 10 mg, then

Reduce dose by 1 mg every 1-2 months, provided no relapse occurs.
