How do you administer Supprelin®LA?
Supprelin®LA implantation is a surgical procedure and should be administered by a physician. The doctor will make a small incision in your child’s upper arm, and the implant will be placed under the skin. Once Supprelin®LA is implanted, the incision site will be closed with surgical strips and bandages. Be sure to keep the bandage dry (avoid bathing or swimming) and do not remove the bandages for at least 24 hours after the procedure to assure that the incision site heals properly.
How do you store Supprelin®LA?
Supprelin®LA should be stored in refrigerator in its original packaging.
How do I care for the incision area once Supprelin®LA is implanted?
Do not remove bandage and keep the arm clean and dry for at least 24 hours after implant. Do not remove the surgical strips as they will falloff by itself in few days. Avoid vigorous exercise or play for few days to ensure the incision site heals properly.
Is there preservatives in the Supprelin®LA?
No, Supprelin®LA does not contain any preservatives.
How often do I receive Supprelin®LA?
Your doctor will determine if you need to renew your Supprelin®LA. In general, a new Supprelin®LA is implanted once-a-year.
