Step 03
Preparation of Medication & Dosage
Pull back on the syringe to pull in air up to the prescribed dosage. If using a pen type needle, preset your prescribed dosage.
Push the needle through the center of the bullseye in the vial and inject the air.
Tilt up the vial so upside down and check that the needle is below the fluid level in the vial; pull back on the syringe to withdraw the medication from the vial.
If there are a few air bubbles in the syringe, gently tap the side of the syringe to move the air bubbles to the top and push the air back into the vial and withdraw again to the appropriate dosage.
*For testosterone injections:
Use the 18 gauge pink needle to draw up your medication.
Once the medication has been drawn up, unscrew the pink needle and screw on the smaller 25 gauge blue needle to the syringe for the injection.
