You can give yourself ganirelix (Fyremadel) injections at home. But you should have a healthcare professional teach you how to properly inject the medication before you do it yourself.

Always wash your hands with soap and water before you inject ganirelix (Fyremadel). Also make sure to wipe the area of skin you're going to inject the medication into with an alcohol swab before injecting. This will help prevent infections.

Inject ganirelix (Fyremadel) beneath the skin in the stomach area (at least 2 inches away from your belly button) or in the upper thigh. Use a different injection site each time. This will help prevent pain during injections and skin irritation.

To inject ganirelix (Fyremadel): Pinch your skin and insert the needle into the skin at a 45 to 90 degree angle. Press the plunger down slowly and steadily to inject the medication. Then, pull the syringe out quickly and hold a cotton ball against the injection area for several seconds.

You should use each ganirelix (Fyremadel) syringe only once. Never reuse them. Throw away the used syringe in a protective sharps container. Your prescriber might provide you with a sharps container. But if not, you can purchase one at most pharmacies. Don't throw syringes away in the regular trash since this can raise the risk for accidental needle-stick injuries.
