Legal position in the UK

Not a licensed medicine in the UKPrescription-only medicine. It is unlawful to supply it without a prescription, and unlawful to advertise a prescription-only medicine to the public. Obtaining it outside the pharmacy system means no prescriber oversight and no guarantee of what is in the vial.

Handling and storage

Licensed product is supplied in a manufactured pen, already in solution, with the dosing mechanism built in. It is not reconstituted and does not require a separate dosing pen. Refrigerated before first use.

Vial sizes: Supplied as a pre-filled licensed pen, not a vial. Where a manufacturer supplies handling instructions, those take precedence over anything general.
