2.8 General

Considerations for Administration HADLIMA is intended for use under the guidance and supervision of a physician. A patient may self-inject HADLIMA or a caregiver may inject HADLIMA using either the HADLIMA PushTouch or HADLIMA prefilled syringe if a physician determines that it is appropriate, and with medical follow-up, as necessary, after proper training in subcutaneous injection technique. HADLIMA PushTouch or prefilled syringe 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 of PushTouch or prefilled syringe while allowing it to reach room temperature. Carefully inspect the solution in the HADLIMA PushTouch, HADLIMA prefilled syringe, or HADLIMA single-dose institutional use vial for particulate matter and discoloration prior to subcutaneous administration. If particulates and discolorations are noted, do not use the product. HADLIMA does not contain preservatives; therefore, discard unused portions of drug remaining from the syringe. Instruct patients using the HADLIMA PushTouch or HADLIMA 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. The HADLIMA single-dose institutional use vial is for administration within an institutional setting only, such as a hospital, physician’s office or clinic. Withdraw the dose using a sterile needle and syringe and administer promptly by a healthcare provider within an institutional setting. Only administer one dose per vial. The vial does not contain preservatives; therefore, discard unused portions.
