AVONEX is injected directly into the skin. The reference video "How to inject Avonex - YouTube" demonstrates this, explaining the user needs to hold the pen firmly on the skin.
Here's a breakdown of the injection process, based on the video reference:
- Skin Contact: The Avonex pen should be held firmly against the skin.
- Window Disappearance: The small rectangular window on the pen will disappear, indicating that the injection process is underway.
- Injection Completion: The pen is ready to inject, which means the medication is delivered under the skin.
While the video shows the injection process, it doesn't specify where on the body to inject, so the specific injection site would depend on the prescribed instructions from the healthcare provider. However, the video clearly indicates that the medication is to be administered directly under the skin.
It's important to consult with your doctor or healthcare professional to receive personalized instructions on the correct injection site for AVONEX based on your specific needs and health conditions.
