Check that the TALVEY solution for injection is colourless to light yellow. Do not use if the solution is discoloured, cloudy, or if foreign particles are present.
Remove the appropriate strength TALVEY vial from refrigerated storage (2°C to 8°C) and equilibrate to ambient temperature (15°C to 30°C) for at least 15 minutes. Do not warm TALVEY vial in any other way.
Once equilibrated, gently swirl the vial for approximately 10 seconds to mix. Do not shake.
Withdraw the required injection volume of TALVEY from the vial(s) into an appropriately sized syringe using a transfer needle. Each injection volume should not exceed 2.0 mL. Divide doses requiring greater than 2.0 mL equally into multiple syringes.
TALVEY is compatible with stainless steel injection needles and polypropylene or polycarbonate syringe material.
Replace the transfer needle with an appropriately sized needle for injection.
If the prepared syringe is stored in the refrigerator, allow the solution to come to ambient temperature before administration.
Any unused medicinal product or waste material should be disposed in accordance with local requirements.
