I am not nurse. How can I do the injections for myself?
The automatic injection pen is wildly used. You just need to remember four steps—
1. Load the medicine cartridge
2. Check the prescribed dose
3. Place the needle on the pen
4. Inject the medicine
More details about the injections are as follows,
