Important Administration Instructions

EMGALITY is for subcutaneous use only.

EMGALITY is intended for patient self-administration. Prior to use, provide proper training to patients and/or caregivers on how to prepare and administer EMGALITY using the single-dose prefilled pen or single-dose prefilled syringe, including aseptic technique [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16.2) and Instructions for Use]:

• Protect EMGALITY from direct sunlight.
• Prior to subcutaneous administration, allow EMGALITY to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Do not warm by using a heat source such as hot water or a microwave.
• Do not shake the product.
• Inspect EMGALITY visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit [see Dosage Forms and Strengths (3) and How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16.1)]. Do not use EMGALITY if it is cloudy or there are visible particles.
• Administer EMGALITY in the abdomen, thigh, back of the upper arm, or buttocks subcutaneously. Do not inject into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard.
• Both the prefilled pen and prefilled syringe are single-dose and deliver the entire contents.
