Pregnyl 10000unit Solution is given as an injection into the muscle. IF YOU ARE USING PREGNYL 10000UNIT SOLUTION AT HOME, a healthcare professional will provide detailed instructions for its appropriate use. Ask any questions that you may have about Pregnyl 10000unit Solution or giving injections. Using the technique described to you by your doctor or nurse, add the diluent to the vial that contains the medicine. Mix the solution by gently rotating the vial. DO NOT SHAKE. The solution should be clear and free of particles. Wipe the rubber stopper of the vial with an alcohol swab. Insert the needle straight through the center circle of the rubber stopper. Draw up the solution for injection. After drawing up the solution, switch needles. Needles with higher gauge (25G or higher) are smaller and are more comfortable to the patient. Be sure all air bubbles are tapped out of the syringe. Wipe the appropriate injection site (usually the upper thigh or buttocks) with an alcohol swab, then insert the syringe. TO BE SURE THAT THE NEEDLE IS NOT IN A VEIN, pull back on the plunger of the syringe while holding the syringe in place. If the syringe begins to fill with blood, the needle is in a vein. If this happens, remove the needle from the skin, throw the syringe away, and start the procedure again using new materials (drugs, syringes, etc.). AFTER GIVING THE INJECTION, cover the injection site with a small bandage if necessary. STORE PREGNYL 10000UNIT SOLUTION as directed on the product label.
