6.6    Special precautions for disposal and other handling

Pre-filled syringe

The pre-filled syringe contains more than the recommended dose of 6 mg. The extractable volume of the pre-filled syringe (0.165 ml) is not to be used in total. The excess volume should be expelled prior to injection. Injecting the entire volume of the pre-filled syringe could result in overdose. To expel the air bubble along with the excess medicinal product, slowly push the plunger until the edge below the dome of the rubber stopper is aligned with the black dosing line on the syringe (equivalent to 0.05 ml, i.e., 6 mg brolucizumab).

The solution should be inspected visually upon removal from the refrigerator and prior to administration. If particulates or cloudiness are visible, the pre-filled syringe must not be used and appropriate replacement procedures followed.

The pre-filled syringe is sterile and for single use only. Do not use if the packaging, or pre-filled syringe are damaged or expired. Detailed instructions for use are provided in the package leaflet.

Any unused medicinal product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
