How to take Jivi recombinant?
A blood test will be performed by your doctor to ensure that recombinant Jivi can treat the clotting deficiency. Read and adhere to all instructions or guides included with your medication. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Your doctor will occasionally adjust your dosage. Check the label's strength to make sure that you're using the right potency.
An injection of recombinant Jivi into the vein is administered. Your healthcare provider should provide your first dose and instruct you in its proper use. Please carefully read and heed all instructions that accompany your medication. Before using recombinant Jivi, it must be mixed in a liquid. If you are unsure of how to mix or store your medicine, ask your pharmacist.
Wash your hands thoroughly before you prepare and administer your injection. Prepare an injection when it is time to give it. If the colour of your medicine changes or if it contains particles, do not see it. For new medication, call your pharmacist. Weight is used to determine the dose of recombinant Jivi. Your dosage needs may change if you gain or lose weight.
