*It is important to rotate injection site to keep skin healthy. A subcutaneous injection is given in the fatty layer of the tissue just underneath the skin. -
Firing the Self-Injector: Place injector against skin and apply slight pressure. The injector body moves towards the syringe housing until the red indicator disappears. This releases safety interlock so the firing button can be pressed.
