How should I use pegademase bovine?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results. Do not use this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Pegademase bovine is injected into a muscle. You may be shown how to use injections at home. Do not self-inject this medicine if you do not understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of used needles and syringes.
Pegademase bovine is usually given once every 7 days. Follow your doctor's dosing instructions very carefully.
Use a disposable needle and syringe only once. Follow any state or local laws about throwing away used needles and syringes. Use a puncture-proof "sharps" disposal container (ask your pharmacist where to get one and how to throw it away). Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets.
Each single-use vial (bottle) of this medicine is for one use only. Throw away after one use, even if there is still some medicine left in it after injecting your dose.
Do not use pegademase bovine if it has changed colors or has particles in it. Call your pharmacist for new medication.
While using pegademase bovine, your blood will need to be tested often.
It may take up to 6 months before your immune system improves and you have fewer infections. Keep using the medication as directed and tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve.
Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after the first few weeks of treatment.
Store in the refrigerator, do not freeze. Throw away the medicine if it has become frozen.
