The fatty part of the thigh, between the hips/groin and knee. The fatty part of the belly, below the ribs and above the hips.
These medications are totally interchangeable. One unit of multidose is exactly the same as one unit of the pen.
Multidose packages come in 2 sizes: 450 units or 1050 units.
Never open the entire vial to reconstitute the powder.
Do not recap the needle after you draw up your Gonal-f dosage. Doing so may contaminate the needle and possible dull the tip. If you must, make sure that the needle doesn’t touch anything.
Gonal-f pens come in 300, 450, or 900 unit sizes.
Do not use methanol or methyl-alcohol on human skin.
When gathering your skin, try not to gather any deep muscle tissue.
Act quickly and firmly. Once the needle has been inserted, release the skin, making sure that the needle is not removed from the skin.
