Proper Use

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, or as a shot under your skin or in a muscle. When the medicine is given in your vein it must be injected slowly, so your IV will need to stay in place for awhile.
