How should I take Follistim AQ Cartridge (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)?
Use follicle stimulating hormone exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist to explain them to you. Gonal-F and Follistim AQ should only be administered subcutaneously. Follistim may be administered as a subcutaneous injection (injection under the skin) or intramuscular injection (injection into the muscle). If you are administering this medication at home, your doctor will give you detailed instructions on how to mix the solution and give the injection. Do not inject this medication if you are not sure how. Do not shake the vial, but gently swirl until the solution is clear. Do not inject any medication that is discolored or that has particles in it. Gonal F ampules and Follistim should be used immediately after mixing. Never reuse a needle or syringe. Dispose of all needles and syringes in an appropriate, puncture-resistant disposal container. Follistim AQ should only be used with the Follistim Pen. Store unmix
