RECONSTITUTION

RECONSTITU-TION

Ready to reconstitute

PRIORIX is supplied as a single-dose vial of lyophilized antigen component and an accompanying prefilled ungraduated syringe of sterile water diluent (packaged without a needle)1

  • Only use the accompanying sterile water diluent to reconstitute PRIORIX1
  • The reconstituted vaccine should be a clear peach- to fuchsia pink-colored vaccine suspension1
  • If not used immediately, store refrigerated (36°F-46°F.) Discard reconstituted vaccine if not used within 8 hours1

Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever suspension and container permit. If either of these conditions exists, the vaccine should not be administered.1

Steps for Reconstitution1

Figure 1.

Hold the prefilled syringe by the barrel and unscrew the syringe cap by twisting it counterclockwise. Align the needle to the axis of the syringe and attach by gently connecting the needle hub into the Luer Lock Adaptor and rotate a quarter turn clockwise until you feel it lock.
