Do not throw away any medicines via wastewater or household waste. Ask a pharmacist how to throw away medicines no longer used. These measures will help to protect the environment.
The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only: Shake the pre-filled syringe so that the contents become homogenous.
Hexaxim should not be mixed with other medical products.
Hexaxim must be administered intramuscularly. The recommended injection sites are the antero-lateral area of the upper thigh (preferred site) or the deltoid muscle in older children (possibly from 15 months of age).
The intradermal or intravenous routes must not be used. Do not administer by intravascular injection: ensure that the needle does not penetrate a blood vessel.

Preparation for administration: The syringe with suspension for injection should be visually inspected prior to administration. In the event of any foreign particulate matter, leakage, premature activation of the plunger or faulty tip seal, discard the pre-filled syringe.
The syringe is intended for single use only and must not be reused.
