How should I use GELNIQUE?

GELNIQUE is for skin use only.
Use GELNIQUE exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to use it.
GELNIQUE should only be applied to dry intact skin on your stomach (abdomen), upper arms, shoulders, or thighs.
Do not put GELNIQUE on open sores, recently shaved skin, or skin with rashes.
You should change your application site every day. Do not use the same site 2 days in a row. Changing application sites every day can help reduce your chance of getting skin irritation.
GELNIQUE contains alcohol and is flammable. Avoid fire, flames or smoking until GELNIQUE has dried.
After applying GELNIQUE, wash your hands with soap and water right away.
Cover the application site with clothing if skin-to-skin contact between another person and the application site is expected.
If someone else is exposed to GELNIQUE by direct contact with the gel or at the application site, that person should wash the area of contact with soap and water as soon as possible.
If you get GELNIQUE in your eyes, rinse your eyes right away with warm, clean water to flush out any GELNIQUE.
GELNIQUE may be used with sunscreen.
Applying GELNIQUE:

1. Selecting your application site:

Apply GELNIQUE only to 1 of the shaded areas shown in the figure below: (See Figure A)

stomach (abdomen)
upper arms
shoulder
thigh

Figure A:

Wash the area where GELNIQUE will be applied with mild soap and water. Allow the area to dry completely.
Wash your hands with soap and water.
2. How to use the GELNIQUE pump:

You must prime the GELNIQUE pump before you use it for the first time.

To prime the pump:

To prime GELNIQUE, hold the pump upright (See Figure B) and fully press down (depress) the pump several times with your thumb or index finger until you see gel come out (typically, this will take four or more depressions). After gel is observed, fully depress the pump one more time, and discard this portion of the product to assure precise dose delivery. The pump is now primed and GELNIQUE is ready to use.

Figure B:

Dispensing your dose of GELNIQUE:

Place your hand under the GELNIQUE pump (See Figure C). Press the pump all the way down 1 time. You can also place the pump right over the application site then press the pump all the way down 1 time to dispense your dose. The amount of gel dispensed with one full pump equals one daily dose of GELNIQUE.
The amount of gel that equals your dose will be about the size of a nickel.

Figure C:

Apply the gel to your skin in the selected body area (See Figure A) and wash your hands with soap and water right away.
After you have used GELNIQUE pump 30 times, throw it away.
3. How to use the GELNIQUE packets (sachets):

Find the notch at the top of your GELNIQUE packet. Tear off the top of the GELNIQUE packet at the notch (See Figure D). 

Figure D:

Squeeze all of the GELNIQUE out of the packet onto your hand (palm or fingertips) or you can squeeze all of the GLENIQUE from the packet right onto the application site (See Figure E).
Squeeze from the bottom of the packet toward the open end. Repeat until the packet is empty. The amount of GELNIQUE in each packet wil
