Instructions for use

Single-dose vial containing 600 mg cabotegravir in 3 ml.

Hold the vial firmly, and vigorously shake for a full 10 seconds. Invert the vial and confirm the suspension is uniform. If the suspension is not uniform, shake the vial again. Small air bubbles are normal.

Must be given as slow IM injection into the ventrogluteal site (recommended) or the dorsogluteal sites.

Use a 5 ml Luer-lock syringe (SINSSYLL05-) and two Luer needles (one for drawing up the suspension and one for the IM injection). Some manufacturers provide a pack containing one adaptor, one syringe and one injection needle along with the cabotegravir vial. In such case, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

Posology: one injection every month for the first 2 months, then once every 2 months.

Perform HIV-1 testing prior to each injection.

Prolonged-release cabotegravir is indicated for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as part of an overall HIV-1 infection prevention strategy, including adherence to the administration schedule and safer sex practices (e.g., condoms use).
