lNJECTlON SlTE CARE

Choose an injection site and clean the skin.

Wash your hands thoroughly.

Choose an injection site on your body. A fatty area, such as your abdomen
(except the area around the navel) or thighs are best.

  • Use a different injection site every time: When choosing an injection site, select an area that has not recently been used to avoid soreness and bruises.
  • Avoid skin that is sore, bruised, scarred, scaly, or has red patches.
  • Clean the injection site with an alcohol pad, and let it dry.
  • Do not touch the area again before the injection.

1 WASH HANDS & GATHER SUPPLlES

  • Wash your hands, and place the pen and alcohol pad for disinfection on a clean, dry surface

2 BRING MEDICATION TO ROOM TEMPERATURE

  • Wait 15-30 minutes for your pen to reach room temperature, which helps reduce your pain during injection.
  • Do not remove the cap just yet.

3 INSPECT MEDICINE & EXPIRATION DATE

  • If your medication is not clear, not free of particles, or is expired, do not use it.
  • You may see 1 or more bubbles, and that is okay. There is no reason to remove it.
  • Do not remove the cap just yet.

4 CHOOSE INJECTION SITE & CLEAN SKIN

  • Wash your hands again thoroughly.
  • Choose an injection site on your body. Fatty areas, such as your abdomen (except the area around the navel) or thighs are best.

  • Clean the injection site with alcohol pad, and let it dry.
  • Do not touch the area again before the injection.

5 CAREFULLY PULL OFF THE CLEAR NEEDLE CAP

  • It is normal to see a few drops of liquid come out of the needle.
  • If you do take off the cap before you are ready to inject, do not put the needle cap back on. This could bend or damage the needle. You might accidentally stick yourself or waste medication.

    starts. You may hear a 1st click.

  • Several seconds later you may hear a 2nd click.

8 CONFIRM COMPLETION & DISPOSE AS DIRECTED

  • You received your dose if…
    • The entire medication window is yellow
    • No medicine leaked out (a small drop is okay)
  • Throw away the used pen in a special container as instructed by your doctor, nurse or pharmacist. If you are not sure you received the dose, contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
