POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
To reduce the risk of a possible IgE-mediated hypersensitivity
reaction, a prick test (place 1 drop of
the ready-to-use solution on the volar side of the forearm using a
tube-like instrument and inject into
the epidermis through the drop using a sterile syringe. Avoid
bleeding. Wipe away the drop of the
preparation after 3 minutes. After a further 20 minutes, observe the
reaction: if redness and weals
develop, refrain from L-asparaginase treatment) or an intracutaneous
injection (increasing
concentrations in an appropriate dilution) should be carried out
before treatment is started or resumed.
Since not just IgE-mediated allergic reactions that are detectable by
skin testing but also IgG and IgM-
mediated sensitisation has been described in the literature, the use
of an intravenous test dose before
intravenous administration is recommended (1000 U i.v. as a short
infusion 1 hour before the
beginning of treatment).
Unless otherwise prescribed, the mean intravenous daily dose in
children and adults in the
monotherapy is 200 U per kg body weight (B
