How to Use your Nepexto® auto-injector pen

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I am travelling and do not have access to a refrigerator?



Nepexto® can be stored out of the refrigerator (below 25°C) for up to 4 weeks.

If you have stored Nepexto® at room temperature for any period of time (even if returned to the refrigerator) you must use it within 4 weeks from the time you first took it out of the refrigerator, or else you must discard it.

What if the pen was stored at a temperature that exceeds 25°C?



DO NOT use Nepexto® if it has been exposed to temperatures above 25°C or has been out of the refrigerator for more than 4 weeks.

What if I forget to use Nepexto® ?



If you miss your dose at the usual time, you should inject the next dose as soon as you remember if it is within 48 hours since the scheduled dose time.

If it is almost time for your next dose, ie. within 48 hours of your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take your next dose when you are meant to. Do not take a double dose to make up for the dose you missed.

If you are uncertain what to do speak to your healthcare provider (doctor, pharmacist or nurse).

What if I use too much Nepexto®?



If you think that you have used too much Nepexto®, you may need urgent medical attention. You should immediately phone the Poisons Information Centre
(by calling 13 11 26) for advice, or contact your doctor, or go to the Emergency Department at your nearest hospital. You should do this even if there are no signs of discomfort or poisoning.

What if the auto-injector doesn’t work, or the solution doesn’t appear as it should?



If the auto-injector doesn’t work, return it to your pharmacy or contact Generic Health Customer Service on (03) 9809 7900 (option 1).
