It is supplied in a single-dose vial, as a ready-to-use solution that does not require additional reconstitution or dilution prior to administration.

  • For volumes less than 0.3 mL, a sterile 0.3-mL syringe is recommended. If using a 0.3 mL (30 unit) insulin syringe, 1-unit markings indicate 0.01 mL.
  • Administer subcutaneous injection into the abdomen, thigh, or the side or back of the upper arms. Rotate injection sites. Do not inject into scar tissue or areas that are reddened, inflamed, or swollen.
    • If injecting into the abdomen, avoid the area around the navel.
    • If more than one injection is needed for a single dose of OXLUMO, the injection sites should be at least 2 cm apart.
  • Discard unused portion of the drug.
