If you have any questions about how to use EVRYSDI, contact your healthcare provider.
EVRYSDI should come as a liquid in a bottle when you receive it. Do not use if the medicine in the bottle is a powder and contact your healthcare provider.
Important information about EVRYSDI: Ask your healthcare provider to show you the correct syringe you should use and how to measure your prescribed daily dose.
Always use the re-usable oral syringes provided in the pack to measure your prescribed daily dose. The oral syringe protects the medicine from light.
Contact your healthcare provider if your oral syringe(s) are lost or damaged. They will advise you on how to continue to take your medicine.
See "How to select the correct oral syringe to use for your prescribed daily dose of EVRYSDI" for the correct oral syringe you should use. Ask your healthcare professional if you have questions on how to select the right oral syringe.
If the bottle adaptor is not in the bottle, do not use EVRYSDI and then contact your healthcare professional.
Do not use EVRYSDI after the Discard after date written on the bottle label. Ask your healthcare professional for the Discard after date if it is not written on the bottle label.
Do not mix EVRYSDI into food or liquids (e.g. milk or formula milk).

If you spill EVRYSDI, dry the area with a dry paper towel and clean with soap and water. Throw away the paper towel in the waste and wash your hands well with soap and water.
If there is not enough EVRYSDI left in the bottle for your prescribed dose, discard the bottle with remaining EVRYSDI and used oral syringes according to your local requirements; use a new bottle of EVRYSDI to obtain your prescribed daily dose.
