Important Administration Instructions
AIMOVIG is for subcutaneous use only.
AIMOVIG is intended for patient self-administration. Prior to use, provide proper training to patients and/or caregivers on how to prepare and administer AIMOVIG using the single-dose prefilled autoinjector or single-dose prefilled syringe, including aseptic technique:
- Prior to subcutaneous administration, allow AIMOVIG to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes protected from direct sunlight. This is important for administering the entire dose and helps minimize discomfort. Do not warm by using a heat source such as hot water or a microwave.
- Do not shake the product.
- Inspect visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Do not use if the solution is cloudy or discolored or contains flakes or particles.
- Administer AIMOVIG in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm subcutaneously. Do not inject into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard.
- Both prefilled autoinjector and prefilled syringe are single-dose and deliver the entire contents.
