injecting a dose
5
Step 15
Gently hold a fold of the skin and insert the tip of the needle
into subcutaneous tissue in a 90 degrees angle.
Using your thumb slide the release button in the needle
direction, hold the release button until a green dot appears in
the window displaying the end of injection. Count to 10 slowly,
while not removing the needle from the skin.
If the green dot does not appear...
it means that there is no teriparatide in the cartridge. Note the
number of units remaining, as it corresponds to the number of mcg
of teriparatide which you must inject to complete the injection. At-
tach the outer needle shield and remove the needle. Replace the
old cartridge with a new one, accordingly to Section 7 - replacing a
cartridge. Prepare the pen injector to use accordingly to the actions
described in steps 7 to 10. Perform the priming dose injection.
Next, complete the interrupted dose delivery by turning the dose
selector according to the direction shown on the drawing until the
figure, which you have seen in the selector window, appears.
Perform accordingly the actions described in steps 14 to 15.
