1. Check Your Pen
- Before using your pen, double-check to ensure
that:
- The cap has been completely removed.
- The needle is intact and not damaged.
- The pen is not expired.
- This initial check can prevent issues during the
injection process.
2. Press and Hold the Injection Button
For the medication to be delivered correctly, press and hold
the injection button firmly. Hold it for the full duration (up to 10 seconds).
Sometimes, the pen may require a bit more pressure to trigger the medication
release.
3. Try a Different Injection Site
If you feel resistance or difficulty injecting, it can help
to try a different injection site. Areas like the abdomen or thighs are common
sites for injection. Rotating your sites can reduce discomfort and help the pen
function smoothly.
4. Use a New Needle
If the pen still doesn’t seem to work, try using a new
needle. Sometimes, older needles can become dull and cause issues with
injecting. Do not attempt to force the pen to administer the medication.
If your pen is still not working after following these
troubleshooting steps, please contact our customer support team for further
assistance. Alternatively, you can reach out to the manufacturer for additional
help.
