Special populations
_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 section 4.4 – _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 sections 4.3, 4.4 and 5.2 – _please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information_).
_Paediatric population_
Fulvestrant is not recommended for use in children or adolescents, as safety and efficacy have not been established in this age group.
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.
For detailed instructions for administration, see section 6.6 – _please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information_.
