1. Consult Your Healthcare Provider: Before using DEPO MEDROL, discuss your medical history and any medications you are currently taking with your healthcare provider. Ensure that this medication is appropriate for your specific condition.


2. Preparation: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Gather all necessary materials, including the vial of DEPO MEDROL, a syringe, and an alcohol swab.


3. Inspect the Vial: Check the vial for any particles, discoloration, or damage. If the solution appears cloudy or has visible particles, do not use it and contact your healthcare provider.


4. Clean the Vial: Use an alcohol swab to clean the rubber stopper of the vial to reduce the risk of contamination.


5. Draw the Medication: Attach a sterile needle to the syringe. Pull back the plunger to fill the syringe with air equal to the dose you need. Insert the needle into the vial and push the air into the vial. This creates positive pressure, making it easier to draw the medication. Invert the vial and pull back the plunger to draw the correct dose of DEPO MEDROL into the syringe.

8. Clean the Injection Site: Use an alcohol swab to clean the selected injection site and allow it to dry.


9. Administer the Injection: Hold the syringe like a dart and insert the needle quickly into the skin at a 90-degree angle. Push the plunger steadily to inject the medication.


10. Withdraw the Needle: After the injection is complete, withdraw the needle quickly and apply gentle pressure to the site with a cotton ball or gauze.


11. Dispose of Materials: Dispose of the used syringe and needle in a proper sharps container. Do not throw them in the regular trash.


12. Monitor for Side Effects: After the injection, monitor for any adverse reactions such as swelling, redness, or pain at the injection site, or systemic side effects like increased blood sugar or mood changes. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any concerning symptoms.

Always follow your healthcare provider's specific instructions regarding dosage and frequency of DEPO MEDROL injections, as individual needs may vary.
