And so, I've been doing this for a while now, and I feel like I have a good handle on information technology. My doctor showed me how to inject when I kickoff started, and I chosen Lauren (my Nurse Ambassador) and she helped me the start few times I did it at domicile by myself.

INJECTION PREP

Okay, let'due south get into it! Now, I get my SKYRIZI by post and I keep it in the fridge until I'one thousand gear up to inject. Here it is. Okay. Very important – I'll leave it at room temperature and out of straight sunlight for 30 to ninety minutes earlier injecting.

Now, this will take some fourth dimension, and so while I wait, I like to listen to some music. A expert melody really helps to relax me.

At present that I've washed and dried my easily, I'thousand good to go. Then, I take out everything I demand: I've got my SKYRIZI Pen, I've got the Instructions for Employ for reference. I've also got an booze swab, a cotton ball, and my sharps container. And so, I do my injections here because there'due south plenty of low-cal and a lot of good space.

HOW TO INJECT STEP BY STEP

Okay. I like to think about the injection process in 4 steps: the 4 Ps. You can see them right here on the package. Choice, pull, place, and press.

Then beginning, I'll pick my injection site. I'm going to go with my left thigh, only you can also inject into your stomach or your other thigh.

If you lot choose your stomach, brand sure that you lot inject at least two inches away from your belly button.

Grab your alcohol swab, and clean your peel in a circular motion, like this, and let it dry.

At present, I concur the Pen with the dark gray cap pointing upward. I pull the cap directly off and throw it away.

Now I cheque the liquid through the inspection window. It should look articulate to slightly yellowish and may contain tiny white or clear particles. It's normal to see one or more than bubbles in the liquid.

So, I concord my Pen with my fingers on the gray grips. See? And I turn the Pen so that the white needle sleeve points toward my injection site and I tin can meet the green activator button.

I gently clasp my skin at my injection site to make a raised area and hold it firmly. So I place the white needle sleeve directly against my injection site at a 90-caste angle.

I can encounter the dark-green activator push button and inspection window. The Pen but activates if the white needle sleeve is pressed downward confronting me before pressing the light-green activator button. A loud "click" means the start of the injection. There it goes.

And concur information technology like that for fifteen seconds. I'll keep pressing the Pen down against my skin until I hear a second "click" or the xanthous indicator has filled the inspection window – either one signals the injection is complete. And at that place it goes.

When it's over, I slowly pull the Pen straight out from my skin. You lot might detect i last click. And wait at this – see how the white needle sleeve covers the needle tip?

And that's it! Now I printing a cotton fiber ball where I injected – you lot can also use a gauze pad.

And I driblet my used Pen in i of these sharps disposal containers.

At that place – safe and sound, and besides out of reach. Another injection complete!

To epitomize, I prepare myself and my infinite, option an injection site, pull the cap off the Pen, identify the Pen on the injection site, printing the button to inject,

And safely discard the used Pen. That's the whole injection process!

When I started injecting at home, information technology didn't take me long to go information technology down. Lauren, my Nurse Ambassador, she suggested I create a routine – inject at the same time and place. I besides like to treat myself after each injection – maybe I'll cycle or listen to a new album.

This Skyrizi Complete App helps me stay on track and I don't know what I'd exercise without it. I used it to log my get-go starter dose so I knew when to take my second starter does iv weeks afterward.

And yous can prepare reminders to future doses, too, since, subsequently 2 starter doses, SKYRIZI is only 1 injection iv times a year.

And when I go those reminders, I know to contact my specialty chemist's shop to get my next injection on time.

And don't forget about the Skyrizi Complete sharps disposal and postal service-dorsum service. I signed up online, and then one time my sharps container gets full, I request a new ane, which is sent to me with a box to send my full one dorsum. It's so user-friendly and it doesn't cost me annihilation.
