Proper Use

A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this medicine. This medicine is given by placing a special round container on your skin. The container pushes the medicine into the skin, and does not use a needle to do this. You or your child will hear a popping noise when the medicine is given.

This medicine is for use on the skin only. It will not be used on skin areas that have cuts or scrapes. Do not get it in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If it does get on these areas, rinse it off right away.
