  • If you need to have a general anaesthetic and you have had bleomycin, remember to tell the anaesthetist
  • If you need general anaesthetic for a dental procedure, remember to tell your dentist
  • It is also important not to use Recreational oxygen products as a recreational drug or wellness product
  • Recreational use of high flow oxygen for scuba diving is not advised
