Do not use more than 1 bremelanotide injection every 24 hours. Do not use more than 8 total injections within 1 month.
Prepare an injection only when you are ready to give it. Do not use if the medicine looks cloudy, has changed colors, or has particles in it. Call your pharmacist for new medicine.
Bremelanotide can cause nausea, which may be severe. Use this medicine exactly as your doctor has prescribed.
Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 8 weeks.
Store at cool room temperature, away from heat and light. Do not freeze. Keep unused injection pens in their original carton.
