Adriamycin and doxorubicin are the same drugs. I think you mean 7 gm of ifosfamide and 100gm of doxorubicin?
The conventional doses are probably the one mentioned here:
http://annonc.oxfordjournals.org/content/15/11/1667.long
It says: "Doxorubicin was typically given at 75 mg/m2/cycle as divided doses i.v. bolus over 3 days and ifosfamide was given as a dose of 6–9 g/m2/cycle, in divided doses over 3 days, usually over 3 h with mesna as a urothelial protectant."
My protocol was different and I recorded what I could read on the bags here:

I don't know my exact doses, but I know that I'm in the hospital five days.
Day 1-5 I have a constant drip of Mesna, to protect my bladder.
Days 1-3 I have a constant 24 hour drip of Doxorubicin.
Days 1-4 I have a three hour drip each day of Ifosfamide.
Before the cycle re-starts each day, I get a cocktail of preventative meds to fight nausea (steroid, Atavan, Emend, and Zofran). I also get Zofran every 8 hours to keep nausea away.
Then when I go home, I take an oral dose of Mesna and have Zofran at home in case I need it for nausea.
