Menopur

Wash your hands with soap and water.

Remove the plastic caps from the vials of Menopur and Sodium Chloride.

Wipe the tops of each vial with an alcohol pad.

Open the Q-cap blister pack by peeling the seal back; do not remove the Q-cap.

Hold the sides of the Q-cap blister pack, turn the blister pack over, and place it on top of the Sodium Chloride vial.

Push the Q-cap straight down into the rubber stopper of the vial until the spike pierces the top of the vial and snaps into place. Discard the blister pack.

Take your syringe and draw air into it by pulling the plunger back to the amount of Sodium Chloride your doctor recommended, usually 1 mL.

Place the tip of the syringe into the connector end of the Q-cap, and twist clockwise until it is secure.

Slowly push down on the syringe plunger to push the air into the vial.

Without removing the Q-cap, turn the vial upside down and pull down on the syringe plunger to withdraw the right amount of Sodium Chloride from the vial, usually 1 mL.

Separate the Q-cap and syringe from the vial by pulling up on the syringe barrel. Be careful not to remove the Q-cap from the syringe.

Hold the sides of the syringe and slowly insert the spiked end of the Q-cap through the rubber stopper of the Menopur vial until it snaps into place.

Slowly push down on the syringe plunger to push the Sodium Chloride into the Menopur vial, and gently swirl until the powder is completely dissolved.

Once the powder has completely dissolved, push the plunger down to empty any remaining air from the syringe.

Turn the vial upside down and pull down on the plunger to withdraw all of the Menopur into the syringe.

If your doctor tells you to use more than one vial of Menopur, use the liquid in the syringe you have just mixed to mix up to 5 more vials of Menopur.

Once you have withdrawn all the medicine prescribed into the syringe, remove the syringe from the Q-cap by twisting the syringe counterclockwise.

Twist the injection needle onto the syringe.
