The medication is administered as subcutaneous or intramuscular injections, as directed by a doctor. The dosage and frequency of administration are adjusted based on the patient's response to treatment.

Patients should be monitored for potential side effects, such as nausea, diarrhea, or pain at the injection site. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.
