Some considerations for people taking Brevibloc include the following:
Brevibloc comes in injectable form. It is given by IV.
Brevibloc is usually used only temporarily. If long-term treatment is required, the patient should be switched to a different medication.
As with many IV medications, healthcare providers must take care to prevent the medication from leaking outside of a vein, as it can be very irritating and damaging to the tissues.
Healthcare providers must be very careful when making IVs with this medication. Deaths have resulted from inaccurately diluting the medication (usually from accidentally making the concentration too high).
If you are unsure about anything related to your dosage of Brevibloc, please talk with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
