Injection Sites

Recommended locations for administration

UPPER ARMS

Back of the upper arm (triceps area). If someone else is administering your subcutaneous injection. May also inject into the area on the back of your upper arm. This area isn't recommended for self-injection because it is difficult to pinch while using proper technique.

ABDOMEN

Below your ribs and above your hip bones, at least 2 inches away from your belly button. Most people can easily reach this area because it's easy to see and reach — making them ideal for self-administering out of the 3. Also, some research suggests subcutaneous injections in the abdomen may be less painful than in the thigh.

THIGH

When injecting into your thigh, inject into the outer sides. It's ideal to avoid injecting into the inner part of your thigh.

Rotate injection sites each week to keep skin healthy and medication effective. Avoid areas that are scarred, bruised, or irritated.
