Step 5.Hold the capsule over the empty glass and clean it to avoid spills. | |
Step 6.Open the capsule by pressing gently on it and rotating both sides with care. Empty the content into the clean glass (Figure A). | |
Step 7.Gently tap both sides of the capsule and check that all the content has fallen into the glass. If the content of the capsule spills outside the glass, empty the glass and use another capsule. Go to Step C1 to see the cleaning instructions and start again from Step1. | |
Step 8.Push the plunger of the syringe to the bottom to remove the air from the syringe (Figure B). | Figure B |
Step 9.Take the glass of water or milk at room temperature (below 30°C). Using the syringe, extract the exact amount of water or milk at room temperature from the glass (Figure C). | Figure C |
Step 10.Add the water or milk from the syringe to the glass containing the content of the capsule(s) (Figure D). | Figure D |
Step 11.Leave the suspension to stand for 15minutes (FigureE). Nota:It is essential to do this to achieve a uniform suspension, otherwise, you may not receive the correct dose. | Figure E |
Step 12.Shake the suspension several times to mix the medicine uniformly with the liquid (Figure F). Nota: The suspension will appear turbid if water is used. | Figure F |
Step 13.Push the plunger of the syringe to the bottom to remove the air from the syringe (Figure G). | Figure G |
Step 14.Turn the glass again before placing the syringe in the glass (Figure H). | Figure H |
Step 15.Immediately place the syringe in the glass and pull the plunger slowly back to extract the exact amount of suspension to achieve the prescribed dose of Rozlytrek (Figure I).
| Figure I |
Step 16.Check the amount in the syringe (FigureJ). With the tip of the syringe pointing upwards, check that:
Nota:If you have not extracted the correct volume or if there are large bubbles inside:
Shake the syringe rapidly. Administer Rozlytrek immediately after extracting it with the syringe. If it is not takenwithin 2hours after extraction, discard the medicine from the syringe. Go to Step C1 to follow the cleaning instructions and start again from Step2 to mix a new dose. | Figure J |

Administration through a gastric or nasogastric tube
Rozlytrek can be taken or administered through a nasogastric or gastric tube placed by a healthcare professional. Check the manufacturer's instructions for the size and dimensions of the enteral zone. Ensure that the size of the tube is at least8French or higher to avoid tube blockage if the doses (amount of suspension) are 3ml or more. To take or administer Rozlytrek in doses of 3ml or more, divide the dose and give it in at least 2parts. Wash the tube with the same amount of water or milk after administering each part. Neonates and children with fluid restrictions may require minimum washing volumes of 1 to 3ml to administer Rozlytrek. The doses must be adjusted accordingly. To take or administer doses of 30ml of Rozlytrek, divide the dose into at least 3parts of 10ml. Wash the tube with the same amount of water or milk after administering each part. The tube should be washed with water or milk after administering Rozlytrek. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor. | ||
