How to administer Uracyst

The suggested method of instillation for Uracyst is:

• The patient should lie on their back.
• Using standard technique, insert a lubricated urinary catheter (gauge 8 to 12) into the urinary bladder via the urethra
• Lower the open end of the catheter so that all urine is drained from the bladder into a receptacle for disposal
• Elevate the open end of the catheter, insert a sterile funnel, or sterile syringe with the plunger removed, and pour in Uracyst
• Once Uracyst has been instilled, remove the catheter
• Instruct the patient to hold Uracyst in the bladder for as long as possible, but for at least 30 minutes
• The patient may be released immediately after instillation

Uracyst should not be administered to any patient with known hypersensitivity to the solution. As Uracyst does not contain any preservatives or antimicrobials, any unused portion should be discarded immediately after instillation.
