Preparation for Use

Before injection, remove ADBRY prefilled syringes or autoinjectors from the refrigerator and allow to reach room temperature (at least 30 minutes for the prefilled syringes and at least 45 minutes for the autoinjectors) without removing the needle cover or cap, respectively.
After removal from the refrigerator, ADBRY may be kept at room temperature up to 30°C (86°F) and must be used within 14 days or discarded.
Inspect ADBRY visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. ADBRY injection is a clear to opalescent, colorless to pale yellow solution. Do not use if the liquid contains visible particulate matter, is discolored or cloudy (other than clear to opalescent, colorless to pale yellow).
ADBRY does not contain preservatives; therefore, discard any unused product.
