If you are a health care professional affiliated with an employer, institution, or committee, or practicing in a state that restricts what items you may receive from manufacturers, we ask that you not accept or download any restricted items from this site. If you are a health care provider practicing in Vermont, we are required by state law to deny you permission to download any items or review any journal articles made available on this site.
Dosing schedule: 500-mg dose given as 2 x 250-mg injections
FASLODEX 500 mg should be administered intramuscularly into the buttocks slowly (1-2 minutes per injection) as two 5-mL injections, one in each buttock, on days 1, 15, 29 and once monthly thereafter.
FASLODEX is metabolized primarily in the liver. A 250-mg dose is recommended in patients with moderate hepatic impairment.* FASLODEX has not been evaluated in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C).
Because FASLODEX is administered intramuscularly, it should be used with caution in patients with bleeding diatheses, thrombocytopenia, or in patients on anticoagulants.
