Administer by deep IM injection into large mass muscle. Intramuscular doses over 1 g divided between more than onesite. Do not administer the intramuscular formulation intravenously because it contains lidocainne. Check injection site for induration, sterile abscess and tissue sloughing; change site every 3 days. Administer by slow IV injection (over at least 2-4 minutes)
