We've covered the overall injections process in another video *(There will be a link in the upper right hand corner to this video: Intramuscular Injection Process)*, today we'll focus on maximizing your treatment by avoiding medication waste.
When drawing your medication from the vial, stop once you have your dose in the syringe, do not overdraw.
After pulling the needle out of the vial, point the syringe up & draw back some air before safely removing the "draw" needle. No medication is left in the chamber between the syringe & the needle this way.
Secure the new injection needle into place holding the syringe still upright. Depress the syringe plunger until all air but a small (about 0.1cc) bubble is left.
Tilt the syringe downward until the air bubble floats to the top. Depress the plunger so that the medication is pushed to the end of the needle ready for injection.
When injecting, completely depress the plunger. The air bubble from before will take up the space between the end of the plunger & the needle, ensuring no medication is left.
After removing the needle, pull your skin to the side for a few moments, this helps keep the medication in.
