- bookofjoe 8y agoI must say I'm surprised this drug is available in a multidose bottle because of the potential for contamination. I've only ever seen it — in many hospitals large and small, in both California and Virginia, over the past 40 years — in 1cc bottles and ampoules. That is and has long been the default adult SQ and IM dose. In STAT situations it's given IV or, as a last ditch measure attempting to reverse cardiac arrest, via direct intracardiac injection using a long needle.
