Indications

Celestone Soluspan injection is a medication used for a variety of conditions such as allergic disorders, arthritis, gout, blood diseases, breathing problems, and certain cancers.

Use and Dosage

Depending on your product, this medication may be given by injecting into different locations such as a muscle (intramuscularly), a skin lesion (intradermally), or a joint (intra-articularly). Injections are usually given by a trained healthcare professional. However, if your injections are intramuscular, your healthcare professional may teach you how to give yourself injections. If any of the information is unclear, consult your healthcare professional.

The injection site, schedule, dosage, and length of treatment are based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not inject this medication into a vein (intravenously) or the spine (epidurally). This medication is not recommended for injection around/into the eye or certain parts of the nose due to the risk of blindness or damage to the eye(s). Consult your doctor for more details.

Before injecting each dose, clean the injection site with rubbing alcohol. Change the injection site each time to lessen injury under the skin.

Shake the vial before use to evenly disperse the suspension. Inject the prescribed dose immediately after withdrawing it into the syringe to avoid settling the medication in the syringe.

If you have been using this medication for a long time, do not suddenly stop it without your doctor’s approval. Some conditions may become worse when this drug is suddenly stopped.

If you have received an injection into a joint, be careful how much stress you put on that joint, even if it is feeling better. Ask your doctor how much you can move the joint while it is healing.
