How to mix a Diphereline injection

[@pharmasteph]

Please note the diluent provided in the ampoule is not 'saline' but is water for injections, which may be referred to as 'solvent' on the ampoule.

Can I remove the needle from the vile while the powder and liquid are being mixed and put the needle back in to draw up the solution. Thanks

No, that makes a contamination in the needle, because it's not a steril procedure. You can't recapsulate the needle or remove it while you're mixing it

Hi, I got my healthcare professional at the GP to administer this injection for me. I had been told not to shake it too hard in the instructions but I felt the nurse didn’t listen to me when I said this. Does it mean that it hasn’t worked?

Dear Doctor, what can happen if the injection was not given correctly? The nurse shook it a lot and administered it with the same needle that was used to aspirate it 😢
