Injecting yourself can feel intimidating, but we're here to guide you every step of the way. Proper use of Care Point Pen Needles is essential to ensure you get the best results from your medication. You can discuss this with your healthcare professional during your initial consultation. Below is a simplified guide on how to use your Care Point Pen Needles safely and effectively.
Preparing for Your Injection
- Choose a clean, dry area on your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm for the injection.
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to maintain hygiene.
- Use an alcohol swab to clean the injection site and reduce the risk of infection.
Injecting with Care Point Pen Needles
- Attach the Care Point Pen Needle to your pen device as per the instructions.
- Set the correct dose on your pen and inject the medication subcutaneously (just under the skin), avoiding veins or muscles.
- Dispose of the used needle in a sharps container immediately after use.
Post-Injection Care
- Avoid rubbing the injection site to prevent irritation.
- If redness, swelling, or discomfort occurs, apply a cool compress to the area.
- Set reminders to stick to your injection schedule for consistent results, especially if you’re using treatments like Wegovy or Mounjaro.
Important Tips for Using Care Point Pen Needles
- Always use a new needle for each injection to prevent infection or skin reactions.
- Allow the pen to warm up to room temperature before injecting for a more comfortable experience.
- Rotate your injection site each time to avoid hard lumps forming under the skin.
- If you miss an injection, take it as soon as possible, or contact your healthcare provider for advice.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Cold Injections: Avoid injecting immediately after taking the pen from the fridge; let it warm up first.
- Blocked Needle: If the pen needle is blocked or the dose button is hard to push, replace the needle and try again.
- Missed Injection: If you miss a dose, contact your healthcare provider for guidance on what to do next.
