To reconstitute powdered medication before injection, follow these steps:
Gather your supplies: You'll need the medication vial, diluent, syringe and needle, alcohol prep pads, and pharmacy instructions.
Determine the diluent amount: Refer to the medication instructions for the correct diluent volume. Contact your pharmacist if it's not provided.
Draw up the diluent: Clean the diluent vial's rubber membrane, fill the syringe with air, and draw the correct diluent amount.
Add diluent to medication: Clean the medication vial, inject the diluent, ensuring the right dosage.
Mix the medication: Gently roll the vial to blend the powder and diluent thoroughly.
Store properly: Follow medication storage instructions, whether refrigeration or room temperature.
