Ixchiq Dosage

Recommended Dose and Schedule

Administer a single dose of IXCHIQ by intramuscular injection.

Preparation for Administration

Reconstitute the Lyophilized Antigen Component, Live (a white to slightly yellowish powder) only with the accompanying Sterile Water Diluent Component to form IXCHIQ. The reconstituted vaccine is a clear, colorless to slightly yellowish liquid solution. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.
