Proper Use
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.
The usual dose schedule for this medicine is one time each week. This medicine must be given slowly, so the needle will remain in place for at least 4 hours.
You or your child may also receive medicines to help prevent possible allergic reactions to the injection.
