Dosing in kidney impairment

Preparation and administration

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The solution should be used according to the standard technique employed by the operating surgeon. Use an administration set with an air-inlet in the plastic spike since the bag does not contain a separate airway tube. Follow the directions for the particular administration set to be used. Insert the spike aseptically into the bag through the center target area of the rubber stopper.

These are not what a patient pays at the pharmacy counter. They are what pharmacies, health plans, and government buyers pay, before manufacturer rebates. A patient's cost depends on their insurance (copay, coinsurance, or deductible) or the pharmacy's cash price.
