Double Dose of Bravelle

MegannJay · June 2010

Hey Ladies,

I'm getting ready to give myself a double dose (150iu) of Bravelle and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to mix 2 75iu Bravelle powder into 1 sodium chloride or if I double both the Bravelle and sodium chloride. What did you ladies do? My nurse said to double the dose which I thought I knew what she meant until now when I'm trying to mix the meds.

I'm going to search online as well but I was just wondering what you ladies do. It's too late to call my RE's office:(

Nevermind. I found the answer... should have looked it up first.

You should mix everything as normal, you're just doing more.

So if it's 1 powder to 1 liquid, do 2 powder to 2 liquid tonight. Don't just double up the powder.

Good luck!

Actually with Bravelle you can do up to 6 powders with one liquid. You should use 1 vial of Sodium Chloride w/m 2 bravelle

This is what I found: https://www.stroheckersrx.com/Bravelle.htm

If Mixing More than One Vial of BRAVELLEInject the contents of the syringe (powdered medication mixed with diluent) directly into the next vial of powdered medication, slowly and cautiously. This will increase the dosage without increasing the liquid volume. Do not use more diluent for additional vials of Bravelle. Again, rotate the vial between your thumb and index finger until the solution is clear. Again, rotate the vial between your thumb and index finger until the solution is clear. Withdraw the newly mixed Bravelle from the second vial back into the syringe. Repeat until you have reached your prescribed vial dosage. Withdraw the medication mixture from the final vial into the syringe and prepare for your injection.

This is what I did, but I'll double check with the RE tomorrow morning when I go in (and if you want, I can update this with what he said). Thank you both!
