Vyora’s Injection Guide
Simple, step‑by‑step instructions for safe, confident at‑home subcutaneous (SubQ) injections.
Always follow your prescription label and your clinician’s instructions. If there’s ever a mismatch between this guide and what your clinician told you, always go with your clinician.
Quick Prep (1–2 minutes)
- Wash/sanitize hands; use a clean, well‑lit surface.
- Confirm medication name, dose, and expiration date.
- Gather: vial, new syringe/needle (or pen needle) and alcohol swabs.
- Choose an injection site and plan to rotate sites.
Do not share or reuse needles.
How to Give a SubQ Injection (6 steps)
- Clean
Wipe the vial’s rubber stopper and your skin at the chosen site (abdomen, outer thigh, or back of upper arm). Let alcohol air‑dry. - Draw the dose
Attach a new needle. Pull air into the syringe equal to your dose. Insert into vial, push the air in, then invert and draw to the exact dose line. Flick to move bubbles up and adjust as needed. - Pinch
Pinch 1–2 inches of fatty tissue between thumb and forefinger. - Insert
Insert the needle quickly and smoothly at 45–90° (your clinician may specify the angle based on needle length/body type). - Inject
Press the plunger slowly and steadily until all medication is delivered.
Site Rotation (quick guide)
- Abdomen: at least 2 inches away from the navel; avoid scars/bruises.
- Outer thigh or back of upper arm (if someone else is helping).
- Rotate to a new spot each time to reduce irritation.
Storage & Handling
- Follow your label. If instructed to refrigerate, do not freeze.
- Keep away from heat, light, and moisture.
- Store out of reach of children and pets.
Missed Dose
