How to Start Your Patient on Prolia®
- The recommended dose of Prolia is a single subcutaneous injection of 60 mg, once every 6 months.1
- If a dose of Prolia is missed, the injection should be administered as soon as is convenient. The next dose should be scheduled 6 months from the date of the previous injection.1
- Patients must be adequately supplemented with calcium and vitamin D.1
- Prolia is a clear, colourless to slightly yellow solution that may contain trace amounts of translucent to white proteinaceous particles. Do not use if the solution is cloudy.1
- Prior to administration, Prolia may be allowed to reach room temperature (up to 25°C) in the original container.1
- Administer Prolia via subcutaneous injection in the outer area of upper arm, the upper thigh or the abdomen.1
- DO NOT slide the green safety guard forward over the needle before administering the injection – it will lock in place and prevent injection.1
- The green safety guard should be activated (slid over the needle) AFTER the injection.1
