Proper Use

Drug information provided by: Merative, Micromedex®

A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this medicine in a hospital. This medicine is given through a needle placed in one of your veins. The medicine must be injected slowly, so your IV tube will need to stay in place for at least 1 hour.

This medicine comes with a patient information insert. Read and follow the instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.

This medicine can also be given through a nasogastric tube by a nurse or other trained health professional.

Your doctor may switch you between injection and oral medicine that works the same way. If you have any concerns about this, talk to your doctor.
