Administration Instructions

OXLUMO is intended for subcutaneous use and should be administered by a healthcare professional.

Visually inspect the drug product solution. Do not use if it contains particulate matter or if it is cloudy or discolored. OXLUMO is a sterile, preservative-free, clear, colorless-to-yellow solution. It is supplied in a single-dose vial, as a ready-to-use solution that does not require additional reconstitution or dilution prior to administration.

Use aseptic technique.
Divide injection volumes greater than 1.5 mL equally into multiple syringes.
For volumes less than 0.3 mL, a sterile 0.3-mL syringe is recommended. If using a 0.3 mL (30 unit) insulin syringe, 1-unit markings indicate 0.01 mL.
Administer subcutaneous injection into the abdomen, thigh, or the side or back of the upper arms. Rotate injection sites. Do not inject into scar tissue or areas that are reddened, inflamed, or swollen.
- If injecting into the abdomen, avoid the area around the navel.
- If more than one injection is needed for a single dose of OXLUMO, the injection sites should be at least 2 cm apart.
Discard unused portion of the drug.
