Caution For Usage
Incompatibilities: In the absence of compatibility studies, this medicinal product must not be mixed with other medicinal products.
Instructions for Use/Handling: Pre-filled Syringe: Before administration, the Prolia solution should be inspected. Do not inject the solution if it contains particles, or is cloudy or discoloured.
Do not shake.
To avoid discomfort at the site of injection, allow the pre-filled syringe to reach room temperature (up to 25°C) before injecting and inject slowly. Inject the entire contents of the pre-filled syringe.
Any unused product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
Instructions for Injecting with the Prolia Pre-filled Syringe with a Manual Needle Guard: IMPORTANT: In order to minimise accidental needle sticks, the Prolia single use pre-filled syringe will have a green safety guard; manually activate the safety guard after the injection is given.
DO NOT slide the green safety guard forward over the needle before administering the injection; it will lock in place and prevent injection.
Activate the green safety guard (slide over the needle) after the injection.
Step 1: Remove Grey Needle Cap: Remove needle cap.
Step 2: Administer Subcutaneous Injection: Choose an injection site. The recommended injection sites for Prolia include: the upper arm OR the upper thigh OR the abdomen.
Insert needle and inject all the liquid subcutaneously. Do not administer into muscle or blood vessel.
DO NOT put grey needle cap back on needle.
Step 3: Immediately Slide Green Safety Guard Over Needle: With the needle pointing away from the patient.
Hold the pre-filled syringe by the clear plastic finger grip with one hand. Then, with the other hand, grasp the green safety guard by its base and gently slide it towards the needle until the green safety guard locks securely in place and/or upon hearing a "click". DO NOT grip the green safety guard too firmly - it will move easily if the patient holds and slides it gently.
Hold clear finger grip.
Gently slide green safety guard over needle and lock securely in place. Do not grip green safety guard too firmly when sliding over needle.
Immediately dispose of the syringe and needle cap in the nearest sharps container. DO NOT put the needle cap back on the used syringe.
