2.8 General

Considerations for Administration YUFLYMA is intended for use under the guidance and supervision of a physician. A patient may self-inject YUFLYMA or a caregiver may inject YUFLYMA using either the YUFLYMA AI or YUFLYMA prefilled syringe if a physician determines that it is appropriate, and with medical follow-up, as necessary, after proper training in subcutaneous injection technique. YUFLYMA can be taken out of the refrigerator for about 15 to 30 minutes before injecting to allow the liquid to come to room temperature. Do not remove the cap or cover while allowing it to reach room temperature. Do not shake. Carefully inspect the solution in the YUFLYMA AI or YUFLYMA prefilled syringe for particulate matter and discoloration prior to subcutaneous administration. If particulates and discolorations are noted, do not use the product. YUFLYMA does not contain preservatives; therefore, discard unused portions of drug remaining from the syringe. Instruct patients using the YUFLYMA AI or YUFLYMA prefilled syringe to inject the full amount in the syringe, according to the directions provided in the Instructions for Use. Injections should occur at separate sites in the thigh or abdomen. Rotate injection sites and do not give injections into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red or hard. If a dose is missed, administer the dose as soon as possible. Thereafter, resume dosing at the regular scheduled time.
