Muro-128 is only to be used as a diluent for diluting products for nebulisation and should not be used on its own. It should not be taken orally or administered parenterally.
Each ampoule contains 2.5 ml of solution.
Refer to the patient information leaflet of the nebulised product to be diluted that your physician has prescribed you for detailed instructions on use of this solution as a diluent. To ensure accurate dosing it is recommended that a dosing syringe is used if necessary.
Method of Administration: By inhalation from a suitable nebuliser or an intermittent positive pressure ventilator after the single dose ampoule has been opened and its contents transferred to the nebuliser chamber. Administration should be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for the device.
1. Prepare the nebuliser by following the manufacturer's instructions and the advice of your doctor.
2. The nebulised product to be diluted should be introduced into the nebuliser chamber as instructed in the appropriate patient information leaflet.
3. Carefully separate a new saline ampoule from the strip. Never use an ampoule that has been opened already.
3. Open the ampoule by simply twisting off the top, always taking care to hold it in an upright position.
4. Squeeze the contents of the plastic ampoule or use a dosing syringe as required into the nebuliser chamber and swirl gently to mix.
5. Assemble the nebuliser and use it as directed by your doctor.
6. After nebulisation, clean the nebuliser according to the manufacturer's instructions. It is important that the nebuliser is kept clean.
As the single dose units contain no preservatives it is important that the contents are used immediately after opening and a fresh ampoule is used for each administration to avoid microbial contamination. Partly used, opened or damaged single dose units should be discarded.
Any solution remaining in the nebuliser chamber should be discarded.
No special requirements.
