The injection fremanezumab-vfrm is used to lessen the frequency of migraines, which are intense, throbbing headaches that can occasionally be accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light or sound. The drug fremanezumab-vfrm injection belongs to the monoclonal antibody drug class. It functions by preventing the body’s natural material from acting in a way that results in migraine headaches.

Both a solution (liquid) in a prefilled syringe and a prefilled autoinjector are available for the injection of fremanezumab-vfrm subcutaneously (under the skin). Typically, it is injected once per month (as a single dose) or three times per year (as three distinct injections given one after the other). Use fremanezumab-vfrm injectable every one to three months, depending on your dose, on or around the same day. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any instructions on your prescription label that you do not understand, and carefully follow their instructions. Exactly as instructed, administer fremanezumab-vfrm injection. Use only as directed by your doctor, neither more nor less of it, nor more frequently.

You might be able to administer the medication yourself at home, or you might ask a friend or family member to do it for you. Ask your doctor to demonstrate how to inject the medication to you or the person giving the shots.

The prefilled syringe and autoinjector versions of the fremanezumab-vfrm injection are available. Before administering the drug, give the syringe and autoinjector 30 minutes to warm to room temperature away from direct sunlight. The medication should not be warmed in any other ways, including the microwave, hot water, or any other manner. Only use one syringe or autoinjector per solution, and inject the entire contents of the syringe or autoinjector. Use a container that won’t puncture to dispose of used syringes or the autoinjector. Regarding how to get rid of the puncture-resistant container, see your physician or pharmacist.

Fenonezumab-vfrm should be injected into the upper arm, stomach, or thigh. Injecting into skin that is soft, thick, bruised, red, scaly, hard, or that contains scars or stretch marks is not advised.

Before injecting fremanezumab-vfrm, always have a look at it. It need to be transparent and colorless. If the fremanezumab-vfrm injection is colored, hazy, has flakes, or has solid particles in it, do not use it. Never shake it.

Use a different syringe or autoinjector for each injection if your doctor instructs you to administer three different shots consecutively. Make sure that each injection is not administered at the exact same location as the others if you administer them at the same body site (upper arm, thigh, or stomach).

As many containers (such as weekly pill minders and those for eye drops, creams, patches, and inhalers) are not child-resistant and are simple for young children to open, it is crucial to keep all medications out of sight and out of reach of children. Always lock safety caps and promptly stash medication up and away from young children where it is out of their sight and reach to prevent poisoning.http://www.upandaway.org
