Ajovy Dosage

The recommended adult starting dose of Ajovy (Fremanezumab) is 225 mg injected subcutaneously (under the skin) once a month. Alternatively, a dose of 3 separate injections of 225 mg (675 mg total) may be injected consecutively once every 3 months. The medication should be injected on your stomach area (abdomen), upper thigh, or upper arm, exactly as instructed by your doctor. Follow the schedule as prescribed by your doctor.

Your doctor or nurse will help you prepare and inject your first dose (or first few doses) and can teach you how to give yourself the injection at home. Do not attempt to inject Ajovy (Fremanezumab) on your own until you completely understand how to inject a dose. If you are unsure of how to prepare or administer a dose, ask a health care professional. If you are having difficulty giving yourself injections, ask a family member or other caregiver for help if they are willing to become involved with your treatment and are willing to learn how to give you your injections.

Avoid injecting Ajovy (Fremanezumab) into an area of skin that is sore, red, infected, or otherwise damaged. If your prescribed dose is 675 mg (3 injections of 225 mg) every 3 months, you may use the same body area for all 3 injections, but do not inject them into the same spot.

Ajovy (Fremanezumab) should be clear and colourless. Do not use the syringe if you notice particles or anything unusual in the appearance of the solution. Remove the syringe from the refrigerator and allow it to warm to room temperature for 30 minutes before injecting the dose. Do not shake the syringe, as this may cause the medication to break down and not be effective.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to take Ajovy (Fremanezumab) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. If you are on the once monthly injection schedule, inject your next dose one month after the late dose. If you are on the every 3 month injection schedule, inject your next dose 3 months after the late dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Ajovy (Fremanezumab) in the refrigerator in its original carton, to protect it from light. Do not allow the medication to freeze. After it has been removed from the refrigerator, it must be used within 24 hours. Keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
