2.1 Dosing Information
The recommended dosage of ZINBRYTA is 150 milligrams injected subcutaneously once monthly [see Dosage and Administration (2.3, 2.4)].
Instruct patients to inject a missed dose as soon as possible but no more than two weeks late. After two weeks, skip the missed dose and take the next dose on schedule. Administer only one dose at a time.
2.2 Important Administration Instructions
ZINBRYTA is for subcutaneous use only.
Train patients in the proper technique for self-administering subcutaneous injections using the prefilled syringe.
Thirty minutes prior to injection, remove ZINBRYTA from the refrigerator to allow the drug to warm to room temperature. Do not use external heat sources such as hot water to warm ZINBRYTA. Do not place ZINBRYTA back into the refrigerator after allowing it to warm to room temperature [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16.2)].
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. ZINBRYTA is a colorless to slightly yellow, clear to slightly opalescent solution. Do not use ZINBRYTA if it is cloudy or there are visible particles.
Sites for injection include the thigh, abdomen, and back of the upper arm.
Use each prefilled syringe one time and then place in a sharps disposal container for disposal according to community guidelines [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16.3)].
