The most appropriate information about the administration of enfuvirtide is how to reconstitute and self-administer a subcutaneous injection. The medication should never be injected into the same site or just between two sites. Vitamin E is not indicated for this medication. Enfuvirtide does not appear to cause significant drug interactions.
