Instructions for use: Preparing the injection: 1. Wash your hands with soap and water and dry them before you use Elonva.
Swab the injection site (the area just below your belly button) with a disinfectant (for example, alcohol) to remove any surface bacteria.
Clean about 5 cm around the point where the needle will go in and let the disinfectant dry for at least one minute before proceeding.
2. While waiting for the disinfectant to dry, break the label perforation and pull off the needle-cap.
Leave the needle shield on the needle.
Place the needle shield (containing the needle) on a clean dry surface, while preparing the syringe.
3. Hold the syringe with the grey cap pointing upwards.
Tap the syringe gently with your finger to help air bubbles rise to the top.
4. Keep the syringe pointing upwards.
Unscrew the syringe cap counter-clockwise.
5. Keep the syringe pointing upwards.
Screw the needle shield (containing the needle) clockwise onto the syringe.
6. Keep the syringe pointing upwards.
Remove the needle shield straight up and discard it.
BE CAREFUL with the needle.
Injecting: 7. Now take the syringe between index and middle finger in the upward position.
Place your thumb on the plunger.
Carefully push the plunger upwards until a tiny droplet appears at the tip of the needle.
8. Pinch a fold of the skin between thumb and index finger.
Insert the entire needle at an angle of 90 degrees into the fold of the skin.
CAREFULLY press the plunger until it cannot go further and hold the plunger down.
COUNT TO FIVE to ensure that all of the solution is injected.
