  3. Clean the rubber stopper of the HMG vial with an alcohol swab.
  4. Draw air into the syringe equal to the dose intended for injection.
  5. Insert the syringe needle into the vial and inject the air to create a vacuum effect.
  6. Invert the vial and draw the medication into the syringe, ensuring to remove any air bubbles.

Administering the Injection

  1. Prepare the injection site by cleaning it with an alcohol swab.
