Administration Information

Administer DAYBUE orally or via gastrostomy (G) tube; doses administered via gastrojejunal (GJ) tubes must be administered through the G-port.

A calibrated measuring device, such as an oral syringe or oral dosing cup, should be obtained from the pharmacy to measure and deliver the prescribed dose accurately. A household measuring cup is not an adequate measuring device.

Discard any unused DAYBUE oral solution after 14 days of first opening the bottle.

Missed Dose or Vomiting After Administration

If a dose of DAYBUE is missed, the next dose should be taken as scheduled. Doses should not be doubled.

If vomiting occurs after DAYBUE administration, an additional dose should not be taken. Instead, continue with the next scheduled dose.

Dose Modification for Diarrhea or Weight Loss

Advise patients to stop laxatives before starting DAYBUE. Interrupt, reduce the dosage, or discontinue DAYBUE if severe diarrhea occurs, if dehydration is suspected, or if significant weight loss occurs.
