How is FASLODEX administered?
FASLODEX is given once a month as an intramuscular (IM) injection administered by your health care professional as part of your breast cancer treatment. With a monthly injection, you won’t have to worry about remembering to take a daily pill.
FASLODEX will most likely be given to you by a nurse in the doctor's office or clinic during your monthly visit. The regular monthly visit to your doctor gives you the opportunity to update your physician or nurse about your health.
The monthly injection also ensures you are consistently receiving the same dosage. The 250-mg dose can be given as either one injection or two injections. Your nurse or doctor will decide whether you should receive your monthly dose of FASLODEX in a single 5-mL injection or in two 2.5-mL injections. The injection doesn’t take long, yet as with any injection, you may briefly feel mild discomfort around the injection site.
