Important Administration Instructions

• NEMLUVIO is administered by subcutaneous injection.
• NEMLUVIO is intended for use under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Prior to the first injection, provide patients and/or caregivers with proper training on the preparation and administration of NEMLUVIO. Patients may self-inject NEMLUVIO after receiving training on subcutaneous injection techniques. In pediatric patients 12 years of age and older, administer NEMLUVIO by or under the supervision of a trained adult or caregiver.
• For the initial dose, administer each of the two NEMLUVIO injections at different injection sites.
• Administer NEMLUVIO subcutaneously into the front upper thighs or abdomen avoiding the 2-inch (5 cm) area around the navel. NEMLUVO may be subcutaneously injected into the upper arm, but this should only be performed by a caregiver or healthcare professional.
• Alternate the injection site with each injection. Do not inject NEMLUVIO into skin that is tender, inflamed, swollen, damaged or has bruises or scars or open wounds.
• Refer to the Instructions for Use for complete administration instructions with illustrations [see Instructions for Use].

Preparation for Use of NEMLUVIO

• Before injection, remove NEMLUVIO carton from the refrigerator and allow to reach room temperature (30-45 minutes).
• Inspect NEMLUVIO visually prior to reconstitution. NEMLUVIO is supplied in a single-dose, prefilled, dual-chamber pen with white powder in one chamber and a clear diluent in the other chamber. Do not use if powder is not white, or if diluent is cloudy or contains visible particles.
• NEMLUVIO must be reconstituted prior to administration. Refer to the Instructions for Use for complete preparation instructions with illustrations [see Instructions for Use].
• Following reconstitution, each prefilled pen delivers 30 mg/0.49 mL as a clear and colorless to slightly yellow solution. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Do not use if the reconstituted solution has discoloration or contains particles.
• Use NEMLUVIO pens within 4 hours after reconstitution. Discard unused reconstituted NEMLUVIO pens after 4 hours.
• Discard any unused portions after administration.
