Hi,
How is Levophed given?
Levophed is given as an infusion into a vein. A health care provider will give you this injection.
Levophed is usually given for as long as needed until your body responds to the medication. Some people must receive this medicine for several days.
Your blood pressure, breathing, and other vital signs will be watched closely while you are receiving Levophed.
Tell your caregivers if you feel any pain, irritation, cold feeling, or other discomfort of your skin or veins where the medicine is injected. Levophed can damage the skin or tissues around the injection site if the medicine accidentally leaks out of the vein.
