What should I watch for while using this medication?
Keep this medication with you at all times.
Show your family members, caregivers, and others where you keep this medication. You will all need to know how to use this medication before you need it. Call emergency services right away after the first dose. This is very important. Do this even if you are awake or feel better.
Each device only contains one dose. You may need more than one dose in an emergency. Talk to your care team about how many doses to carry with you.
Check the expiration date of your medication often. Replace it before the expiration date has passed.
