  2.2 Preparation and Administration

  Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Makena is a clear, yellow solution. Do not use if solid particles appear or if the solution is cloudy.

  Instructions for administration:

  Clean the vial top with an alcohol swab before use. Draw up 1 mL of drug into a 3 mL syringe with an 18 gauge needle. Change the needle to a 21 gauge 1 1/2 inch needle. After preparing the skin, inject in the upper outer quadrant of the gluteus maximus. The solution is viscous and oily. Slow injection (over one minute or longer) is recommended. Applying pressure to the injection site may minimize bruising and swelling.

  Discard any unused product 5 weeks after first use.
