Path B: Detailed Injection Technique & Site Rotation
Use the syringe you filled in the Preparation & Use steps and follow this sub-cutaneous injection routine:
-
Select and clean a site
Choose abdomen, front/outer thigh, or the back of the upper arm. Wipe a two-inch area with a new alcohol swab and let it air-dry. Do not touch the skin after cleaning. -
Rotate sites
Pick a new point at least one to two inches from the last injection. Switch areas weekly or follow a pattern (for example: upper-left abdomen → lower-left abdomen → upper-right abdomen → lower-right abdomen → thigh). Keep a simple log. Avoid bruises, scars, moles, or irritated skin. See General Injection Safety Concepts. -
Inject the dose
Pinch a fold of skin if your needle length or body type requires it. Hold the syringe like a dart. Insert the needle quickly at 90 ° (or 45 ° if advised). Push the plunger slowly until the barrel is empty. -
Wait and withdraw
Keep the needle in place for five to ten seconds, then pull it straight out at the same angle. Release the skin pinch. -
Aftercare
If a drop of blood appears, press gently with gauze or cotton for a few seconds. Do not rub. -
Dispose immediately
Drop the entire syringe, needle attached, into a sharps container. Do not recap. See the Safe Disposal Guide.
