How to Inject HGH

Prior to injecting any medication, including human growth hormone, carefully read the instructions from the manufacturer and your doctor. Never share an HGH pen or your needles with anyone else. Sharing needles and pens can transmit infection. 

Never use the Norditropin HGH Injection pen without proper training from your healthcare professional. 

1. First, wash your hands with soap and water.
2. Remove the pen cap on the HGH pen.
3. Look closely through the clear window of the pen and confirm it is clear and colorless.
4. If the liquid looks cloudy – don’t use the pen. Contact your health care provider.
5. Open the disposable needle package. Remove the needle and tear off the protection tab.
6. Always use a new needle for each injection.
7. Push the needle straight onto the pen, then turn until it fits snugly.
8. Remove the outer needle cap and dispose of it.
9. Pull off the inner needle cap and dispose of it. 
10. Prime the pen so the flow of the medication doesn’t have any air in the first injection. This is only done once on the first use of a pen. Turn the pen 1 click, and push the button so a tiny amount of liquid appears at the tip of the needle. The pen is primed. 
11. Select the dose provided to you by the doctor. 
12. Inject the dose. The best places to inject include the abdomen, thigh, hip, or similar places where you have enough subcutaneous skin to receive the small needle. It’s recommended to move the injection location at least 1-2 inches each day. 
13. When finished, remove the needle and dispose of it in a Sharps Biohazard Container. If you don’t have one, use a large plastic bottle for dishwashing liquid. Mark it!
