Proper Use
Drug information provided by: Merative, Micromedex®
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you or your child this medicine. This medicine may be given through a needle placed into one of your veins or as a shot into one of your muscles.
Sometimes this medicine will be used in a nebulizer (a breathing machine). The patient will breathe it into the lungs to treat an infection. When used this way, the medicine should be mixed right before you put it in the nebulizer for a breathing treatment. You must throw away any leftover liquid medicine that is not used. Do not use pre-mixed liquid medicine that has been stored for any length of time for your breathing treatment. If you bought pre-mixed liquid medicine at the pharmacy, throw it away. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for instructions on how to mix your medicine for the breathing treatment. If you have any questions, talk to your doctor.
