You Have Been Prescribed Zivafert
Each box of this drug contains 5,000iu of Zivafert.
Standard dose to use is 10,000iu (two boxes).
However, you may have only been prescribed 5,000iu if you are at risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome OHSS and therefore, will only have the one box.
What to Do
- For 10,000iu remove the powders from both boxes (the vial has a pink lid) and only one of the pre-filled syringes of liquid. (They are both the same, so it does not matter which is used)
- Attach the green needle onto the pre-filled syringe.
- DO NOT REMOVE THE WHITE COLLAR FROM THE BASE OF THE SYRINGE.
- Remove the pink lid off the powder bottles.
- Using your needle and syringe, add the fluid into one of the powders – the powder will dissolve – draw this back into your empty syringe.
- Again, add the powder-fluid mixture into the second powder.
- You will now have two powders dissolved within one fluid.
- Change to the grey needle (supplied in the box)
- Gently remove any bubbles
- INJECT!
If you have been prescribed 5,000iu then you mix one fluid to one powder and follow the instructions above.
