How to inject Neupogen

Finally got Neup., late Fri. afternoon. The instructions are printed on a label attached to the pharmacy bag and all it said was to inject it "under the skin." Ok ...

Take it like Peg? In the same type places. Straight in, and length of the needle?

Let it sit out for about 30 minutes and inject like you do peg.  Subcutaneously.

It may burn slightly or at least it do for me and it may leave a red mark but that will diminish over time.

I angled the needle just like I did for the peg and when I plunged the whole length of the needle would be under my skin.  I think I injected the solution a little slower than I did peg because of the burning sensation.  There's nothing to it really.  You get to be an old pro at it.

Yes,the same way,same places. I always did mine at an angle,not into any muscle.. I found that the neupogen shots were a little more painful for me.
