Questions and Answers | |
---|---|
Question | Answer |
Is it a problem if I see air bubbles in the syringe? | No. There is no need to remove the air bubbles from the GENOTROPIN MINIQUICK. The small amount of air in the syringe does not affect your injection. |
What should I do if I have problems turning the plunger rod (Step 6)? | The problem could be because the needle has been inserted at an angle onto the rubber stopper. Carefully replace the outer needle cover on the needle and unscrew counterclockwise (turn to the left) to remove the needle. Hold the GENOTROPIN MINIQUICK with the needle-end pointing up, and re-attach and screw the needle directly (not at an angle) on top of the device. |
What should I do if I have problems pushing the plunger when making the injection (Step 10)? | The problem could be because the needle has been inserted at an angle onto the rubber stopper. Carefully replace the outer needle cover on the needle and unscrew counterclockwise (turn to the left) to remove the needle. Hold the GENOTROPIN MINIQUICK with the needle-end pointing up, and re-attach and screw the needle directly (not at an angle) on top of the device. |
What should I do if the needle is damaged or bent? | Throw away the needle and use a new needle with the GENOTROPIN MINIQUICK. See "Disposing of (throwing away) your GENOTROPIN MINIQUICK and needles". |

Questions and Answers | |
---|---|
Question | Answer |
How long is the use period of my pen? | The pen has a use period of 2 years starting from the first use by the patient. |
How can I tell how much GENOTROPIN is left in my pen? | The indicative scale along the side of the cartridge window is a guide. The number that aligns with the front edge of the rubber stopper shows you how many milligrams are left in the cartridge. If your cartridge is nearly empty you can also dial the injection button until it cannot go any further, the dose display will then show the maximum dose that can be delivered. When the cartridge is empty, the injection button will not turn any further. |
If the display does not work, can my pen still be used? | Contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible to get a new pen. |
What happens if I dial the injection button beyond the maximum dose ('4.0' mg)? | Some liquid may appear from the needle tip, and the numbers may disappear from the dose display. This is normal and will not affect your injection. To correct this, turn the injection button in the opposite direction of the arrow until numbers reappear on the dose display. Then dial back to your correct dose. |
Why is it difficult to turn or push the injection button? | The injection button may become difficult to turn or to push. This may occur if the pen gets dirty due to contact with food, liquids or GENOTROPIN, or if the needle becomes clogged. Contact your healthcare provider if the issue does not resolve. |

Questions and Answers | |
---|---|
Question | Answer |
How long is the use period of my pen? | The pen has a use period of 2 years starting from the first use by the patient. |
How can I tell how much GENOTROPIN is left in my pen? | The indicative scale along the side of the cartridge window is a guide. The number that aligns with the front edge of the rubber stopper shows you how many milligrams are left in the cartridge. If your cartridge is nearly empty you can also dial the injection button until it cannot go any further. The dose display will then show the maximum dose that can be delivered. When the cartridge is empty, the injection button will not turn any further. |
If the display does not work, can my pen still be used? | Contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible to get a new pen. |
What happens if I dial the injection button beyond the maximum dose ('2.0' mg)? | Some liquid may appear from the needle tip, and the numbers may disappear from the dose display. This is normal and will not affect your injection. To correct this, turn the injection button in the opposite direction of the arrow until numbers reappear on the dose display. Then dial back to your correct dose. |
Why is it difficult to turn or push the injection button? | The injection button may become difficult to turn or to push. This may occur if the pen gets dirty due to contact with food, liquids or GENOTROPIN, or if the needle becomes clogged. Contact your healthcare provider if the issue does not resolve. |

Questions and Answers | |
---|---|
Question | Answer |
Is it a problem if I see air bubbles in the syringe? | No. There is no need to remove the air bubbles from the GENOTROPIN MINIQUICK. The small amount of air in the syringe does not affect your injection. |
What should I do if I have problems turning the plunger rod (Step 6)? | The problem could be because the needle has been inserted at an angle onto the rubber stopper. Carefully replace the outer needle cover on the needle and unscrew counterclockwise (turn to the left) to remove the needle. Hold the GENOTROPIN MINIQUICK with the needle-end pointing up, and re-attach and screw the needle directly (not at an angle) on top of the device. |
What should I do if I have problems pushing the plunger when making the injection (Step 10)? | The problem could be because the needle has been inserted at an angle onto the rubber stopper. Carefully replace the outer needle cover on the needle and unscrew counterclockwise (turn to the left) to remove the needle. Hold the GENOTROPIN MINIQUICK with the needle-end pointing up, and re-attach and screw the needle directly (not at an angle) on top of the device. |
What should I do if the needle is damaged or bent? | Throw away the needle and use a new needle with the GENOTROPIN MINIQUICK. See "Disposing of (throwing away) your GENOTROPIN MINIQUICK and needles". |
If you have any questions about your dose or your treatment with GENOTROPIN, call your healthcare provider right away.
