REFERENCES

Choose a fatty area for injection:
Fatty areas, like your stomach, are generally the best injection sites. Fatty areas are good for inserting the needle correctly.
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. Keeping a diary of where you have previously injected can be helpful.

This quick use guide is a shortened version of the patient information leaflet. These instructions are supplied as a guide only.

Please read the full patient information leaflet before you use your syringe for the first time.²

Before you inject, ask your doctor or nurse to show you how to use your pre-filled syringe.

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

Wait 15-30 minutes for your pre-filled syringe
to reach room temperature, which helps
reduce your pain during injection.

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.

Wash your hands again 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.
Avoid skin that’s sore, bruised, scarred, scaly, or has
red patches.
Clean the injection site with alcohol pad, and let it dry.
Do not touch the area again before the injection.

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.

You received your dose if…
- Needle retracted
- Plunger was pushed all the way down
- No medicine leaked out (a small drop is okay)
Pull the syringe away from your skin. Confirm that
the needle has retracted and immediately throw
away the used syringe 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.
