How to use Tretten

Tretten is given as an injection into your vein (intravenous injection). These injections are given once a month. Your dose will depend on your body weight. Use the dose that your healthcare provider has prescribed for you based on your weight. Before injecting Tretten, it must be dissolved (reconstituted) using the sterile water that is provided in the package. Throw away any Tretten left in the vial after you inject your dose because it may become unsterile.
