Active Ingredient: Fulvestrant
Fulvestrant is indicated:
In pre- or perimenopausal women, the combination treatment with palbociclib should be combined with a luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Intramuscular
500 - 500 mg
From 500 To 500 mg once every 30 day(s)
The recommended dose is 500 mg at intervals of one month, with an additional 500 mg dose given two weeks after the initial dose.
Prior to the start of treatment with the combination of fulvestrant plus palbociclib, and throughout its duration, pre/perimenopausal women should be treated with LHRH agonists according to local clinical practice.
Fulvestrant should be administered as two consecutive 5 ml injections by slow intramuscular injection (1-2 minutes/injection), one in each buttock (gluteal area).
Caution should be taken if injecting fulvestrant at the dorsogluteal site due to the proximity of the underlying sciatic nerve.
