Remove the cap

If the vial or pen is multi-dose, take a note about when the vial was first opened. The rubber stopper should be cleaned with an alcohol swab.

Draw air into the syringe

Draw back the plunger to fill the syringe with air up to the dose that you’ll be injecting. This is done because the vial is a vacuum and you need to add an equal amount of air to regulate the pressure. This also makes it easier to draw the medication into the syringe.

Insert air into the vial

Remove the cap from the needle and push the needle through the rubber stopper at the top of the vial. Inject all of the air into the vial. Be careful to not touch the needle to keep it clean.

Withdraw the medication

Turn the vial and syringe upside down so the needle points upward and pull back on the plunger to withdraw the correct amount of medication.

Remove air bubbles

Tap the syringe to push any bubbles to the top and gently depress the plunger to push the air bubbles out

Insert the needle

Hold the needle like a dart and insert it into the muscle at a 90-degree angle. You should insert the needle in a quick, but controlled manner. Do not push the plunger in.

Check for blood

Using the hand that’s holding the skin at the injection site, pick up your index finger and thumb to stabilize the needle. Use your dominant hand to pull back on the plunger slightly, looking for blood in the syringe.
If you see blood going into the syringe, it means the tip of the needle is in a blood vessel. If this happens, withdraw the needle and begin again with a new needle, syringe with medication, and injection site. It’s rare to have this happen. If you don’t see blood going into the syringe, the needle is in the correct place and you can inject the medicine.
