How to give a subcutaenous injection

can someone give me the run down with ganirelex? If not how about a link to a good video?

Tomorrow is my first shot!

Re: How to give a subcutaenous injection

squeeze out the air bubble, clean the area with alcohol swab, pinch belly, shoot & plunge. The subcutaneous ones are the easiest. Good luck

i agree with the pp. it is an easy shot too, no burning!

only thing I would add, is go straight in at a 90 degree angle. Good Luck!!

I agree w/ PPs. Def. a 90 degree angle too. I always ice first but I'm a baby. It's not something you have to do- most ppl don't- but it helped get me through the first one, so I stuck w/ that technique.
Good luck Susan!!!!

thanks. We got the short course at the orientation but that was over a month ago.

Our DVD player is not hooked up.

I used this site Garilinex is not there but I am sure it is done similarly?
Hope it went well, trust me this stuff is easy!
