Preparation of diluted solution
• Preare the diluted solution immediately after removal of the vial(s) from refrigerated storage, or the vial(s) may be stored at room temperature protected from light for up to 24 hours prior to preparation of the diluted solution.

• Do not shake the vial.
• Withdraw the required volume from the vial(s) based on the patient's weight (in kg) and transfer into an IV bag containing either 0.9 % Sodium Chloride Injection, or 5 % Dextrose Injection, to prepare a diluted solution with a final concentration ranging from 1 to 10 mg/mL. Mix diluted solution by gentle inversion.
• Discard vial(s) and all unused contents.
• If the diluted solution is refrigerated, allow the IV bag to come to room temperature prior to use.
• Do not freeze the diluted solution.
Any unused medicinal product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
