hi Redman.
Most people receiving blood where I go have 1 unit of blood over 2 hours.
For me it is one and a half hours for 1 unit, only because I have a port and I seem to tolerate it well.
I had one reaction 5 years ago due to the ongoing transfusions.
Now I have a premed which they administer through vein before blood and the antihistemine I take at home before going in.
Ask your doctor if you are concerned.
This treatment has seen no more reactions to the blood.

Hi Rahman,
Have you tried taking antihystamin (eg. Benadryl) before Tx? For my daughter, it worked so far. ALso, 1st 15 mns of Tx is slow then the rate is 5 times the weight (in Kg.).
