Push the needle straight onto the pen. Turn until it is on
tight.

2 Pull off the outer needle cap and save it. You will need it after
the injection, to safely remove the needle from the pen.
Always use a new needle for each injection. This will prevent
blocked needles, contamination, infection and inaccurate dosing.
Never use a bent or damaged needle.
Do not attach a new needle to your pen until you are ready to
take your injection.
