Neurobion injections are administered intramuscularly (IM) via a slow intragluteal injection (into the buttock). The dosage depends on the severity of the case:
- Severe Cases: 1 ampoule daily until the acute symptoms disappear.
- Milder Cases & Follow-up Treatment: 1 ampoule 2-3 times weekly.
Here's a general guide for administering Neurobion injections:
- Prepare the injection site: Wash your hands thoroughly. Choose a clean, flat surface and lay out all the necessary supplies.
- Prepare the injection: Remove the Neurobion ampoule from the packaging and gently shake it to mix the solution.
- Clean the injection site: Clean the injection site with an antiseptic wipe.
- Draw the medication: Use a sterile syringe to draw the medication from the ampoule.
- Insert the needle: Locate the dorsogluteal injection site (the upper outer quadrant of the buttock) and insert the needle at a 90-degree angle.
- Aspirate: Pull back on the plunger slightly to check if you've hit a blood vessel. If you see blood, withdraw the needle and try again at a different site.
- Inject the medication: Slowly inject the medication over 10 seconds per milliliter.
- Remove the needle: Remove the needle quickly and apply gentle pressure to the injection site with a clean cotton ball or gauze.
Note:
- It is crucial to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and to seek medical advice if you have any concerns or questions.
- Self-administering injections can be risky, and you should only do so if you have been trained and are confident in your ability to do so safely.
