Choose your injection site
in either the stomach (abdomen), front of
the thighs, or outer area of upper arm (only
if caregiver administered).
Rotate injection site.
• Each week you can use the same area of
your body, but use a different injection site
in that area.
• Do not inject into an area where the skin is
tender, bruised, red, scaly, or hard. Do not
give the injection in any areas with scars or
stretch marks.
• Record the date, time, and site where you inject.
