Every dose follows the same seven steps. Read the leaflet each time you receive a new vial, and never share your vial, syringe, or needles.
Wash your hands with soap and water before you begin. Prepare a clean, flat surface to lay out your supplies.
Take the Gojaro vial out of the refrigerator. Confirm that the name on the label matches your prescription and that the vial has not expired or been damaged.
Gojaro solution should be clear, colourless to slightly yellow.
Wipe the rubber stopper of the vial with an alcohol pad and allow it to dry completely before inserting the needle.
Pull the plunger back to draw air into the syringe equal to your prescribed dose. Insert the needle straight down through the centre of the rubber stopper, then push the plunger in to inject the air into the vial.
This makes it easier to draw out the liquid medicine.
With the needle still in the vial, turn the vial and syringe upside down. Make sure the tip of the needle stays in the liquid. Slowly pull back the plunger to draw the prescribed dose into the syringe.
Check the syringe for air bubbles. If you see them, tap the syringe gently and slowly push the plunger up to return the bubbles to the vial. Then draw the dose again until you reach the correct mark.
Remove the drawing-up needle and place it in your sharps container. Attach a new injection needle (yellow, 30G) to the syringe and twist until it is tight. Keep the needle cap on until you are ready to inject.
Self-injection: thigh or abdomen (at least 5 cm from the navel). Injection by another person: back of the upper arm. Change the site each week.
Thigh, abdomen (≥ 5 cm from navel), or back of upper arm.
Wipe with alcohol pad; let it dry.
45–90°, angle recommended by your provider.
Slowly press the plunger all the way down.
Pull the needle straight out. A droplet on the tip is normal.
If you see blood after removing the needle, press lightly with gauze or a cotton ball. Do not rub the injection site.
Place the used vial, syringe, and needles in a sharps container immediately after use.
