Proper Use

Drug information provided by: Merative, Micromedex®

A nurse or other trained health professional will give you or your child this medicine in a hospital. This medicine is given through a needle placed in one of your veins. It must be given slowly, so the needle will have to remain in place for 30 to 120 minutes.

Your doctor will give you or your child a few doses of this medicine until your condition improves, and then switch you to an oral medicine that works the same way. If you have any concerns about this, talk to your doctor.
