General: HyperHEP B should not be administered intravenously because of the potential for serious reactions. Injections should be made intramuscularly, and care should be taken to draw back on the plunger of the syringe before injection in order to be certain that the needle is not in a blood vessel. Intramuscular injections are preferably administered in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm or lateral thigh muscle. The gluteal region should not be used as an injection site because of the risk of injury to the sciatic nerve. An individual decision as to which muscle is injected must be made for each patient based on the volume of material to be administered.
Laboratory Tests: None required.
Use in Pregnancy: See USE IN PREGNANCY & LACTATION section for further information.
Use in Children: Safety and effectiveness in the pediatric population have not been established.
