Warnings

The recommended starting dose of Movapo (Apomorphine) is 2 mg injected subcutaneously (under the skin) when your regular medication wears off and causes symptoms of Parkinson's disease to return. Based on effectiveness and side effects of the medication, your doctor may increase the dose, until the dose that relieves your symptoms is determined. The maximum recommended dose is 6 mg.

If a single dose of Movapo (Apomorphine) is ineffective for a particular "off" period, a second dose should not be given for that "off" episode. Do not take a repeat dose of Movapo (Apomorphine) sooner than 2 hours after the last dose.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

Movapo (Apomorphine) is used with the guidance and supervision of a doctor. Your doctor or nurse may ask you to inject the medication at home once they have instructed you and are certain that you won't have any problems with doing it at home. Do not attempt to prepare or inject Movapo (Apomorphine) on your own until you completely understand how to mix and inject a dose. Movapo (Apomorphine) should be clear and colourless. Do not inject it if it is green, cloudy, or if you see particles.

If you miss a dose, take the next dose when you need it. Doses of Movapo (Apomorphine) must be spaced at least 2 hours apart. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Movapo (Apomorphine) at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children. Discard any medication remaining in a pre-filled pen 48 hours after first using it.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
