Fulvestrant is not recommended for use in children or adolescents, as safety and efficacy have not been established in this age group.
_Renal impairment:_
No dose adjustments are recommended for patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance ≥ 30 ml/min). Safety and efficacy have not been evaluated in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min) and, therefore, caution is recommended in these patients (see Special warnings and precautions for use – _please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information_).
_Hepatic impairment:_
No dose adjustments are recommended for patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment.
However, as fulvestrant exposure may be increased, Fulvestrant should be used with caution in these patients. There are no data in patients with severe hepatic impairment (see Contraindications, Special warnings and precautions for use and Pharmacokinetic properties – _please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information_).
**Method of administration**
Fulvestrant should be administered as two consecutive 5 ml injections by slow intramuscular injection (1–2 minutes/injection), one in each buttock (gluteal area).
Caution should be taken if injecting Fulvestrant at the dorsogluteal site due to the proximity of the underlying sciatic nerve.
