Unwrap the bottle adapter.

Place the ribbed end of the bottle adapter in the bottle top. Wrap both hands around the bottle. Press down on the bottle adapter using both thumbs. Push the ribbed end of the bottle adapter firmly into the neck of the bottle until the adapter top is even with the bottle top. See Figure D.

Step 4. Unwrap the oral dispenser if it is the first time you are using the oral dispenser.

Check your dose in milliliters (mL) as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Find this number on the barrel of the oral dispenser. See Figure E.

The oral dispenser only holds 1 mL of medicine at a time. If your dose is more than 1 mL, you will need to repeat Steps 5 through 8 using the same oral dispenser until your entire dose has been drawn from the bottle.

Step 5.Push the plunger of the oral dispenser all the way down. Insert the oral dispenser into the bottle adapter. See Figure F.

Step 6.With the oral dispenser in the bottle adapter, carefully turn the bottle upside down. Slowly pull back on the plunger until the widest part of the plunger is at the line marking on the oral dispenser of the number of mL needed for your dose. See Figure G. Do notuse the narrow tip on the end of the plunger to measure the dose.

If you see air bubbles in the oral suspension, fully push in the plunger so the oral suspension flows back into the bottle. Then withdraw the dose of oral suspension that you need.
