How should I use NGENLA?

How should I use NGENLA?

•
Read the detailed Instructions for Use that come with NGENLA.
•
NGENLA comes in 2 different dosage strengths. Your child’s healthcare provider will prescribe the dose of medicine and the dosage strength that is right for your child.
•
Your child’s healthcare provider will show you how to inject NGENLA before it is used for the first time. Do not try to inject NGENLA until you have been shown the right way by your child’s healthcare provider.
•
Inject NGENLA exactly as your child’s healthcare provider tells you to.
•
NGENLA is injected under the skin (subcutaneously) and can be given in the stomach (abdomen), thighs, buttocks, or upper arms. Rotate the site of injection weekly.
•
Inject NGENLA 1 time each week, on the same day each week, at any time of the day.
•
You may change the day of the week NGENLA is used as long as the last dose was injected 3 or more days before. After the new day of the week has been chosen, continue with the 1 time a week schedule.
•
If your child misses a dose of NGENLA the missed dose should be injected as soon as possible within 3 days after the missed dose. If more than 3 days have passed, skip your child’s missed dose. Inject the next dose on the regularly scheduled day.
•
NGENLA prefilled pens are for use by 1 person only.
•
Do not share your child’s NGENLA prefilled pens and needles with another person, even if the needle has been changed. Your child may give another person an infection or get an infection from them.
