Czech term or phrase: DPT
Zahájena 2. linie paliativní CHT v režimu CBDCA + paklitaxel, s odkladem 2. série pro urosepsi při blokádě levého ureteru, zaveden DPT.

Is this 'DPT' as in the vaccine, or does it mean something else here?

English translation:Demerol, Phenergan, Thorazine
Explanation:
A vaccine is unlikely here, and it is possible that the above combination, a 'lytic cocktail' is used as sedative. In a case like this, I would suggest to leave the DTP as is, in the hopes that the specialist looking at the translation would know. And leave a note to that effect. As translators we can hardly be expected to know or second-guess all the abbreviations.
