Pegasys injection video
Common Questions and Answers about Pegasys injection video
pegasys
hate to blame something but I made the mistake of watching the pegasys video, the one with the black dude that is shaking when he gives himself the shot. This kind of threw me off, I should of just read the instructions and not looked at the video. I probably would have went straight in but the video emphasizes "inject at an angle". Oh well the damage is done, just hope I did not totally mess it up.
Someone once posted a helpful video site on how to inject pegasys and I was wondering it there is any information on how to inject procrit.
My last two hgb blood test results were 9.7 and 9.4 , so my doctor is going to order procrit for me.
I am going to get procrit 40,000 units per ml per week.
Is that the dose that everyone else is doing?
Do you have to mix the solution or measure it out to inject ?
My mind is a bit foggy these days....
In regard to injection, if u pull back and see blood does it mean you hit a.capillary,or vein or what? Last week the nurse who gave me the shot did.not pull back and check for blood. If there is blood can u withdraw needle and inject in different spot in same area?
First one on my own at home with instruction from NP in the office beforehand. I also watched the Pegasys video tape that came with my kit. I think it's online also but I highly recommend NOT watching it! Guy was shaking like a palm tree in a hurricane which is NOT inspiring. It is pretty funny in hindsight but kind of freaked me out at the time. Ya think they could find someone who would look comfortable!
Go to the Pegasys website at http://www.pegasys.com/patient/about-chronic-hepc/what/index.html
Then click on Prescribing Information on the top right hand corner. Then scroll down to pg 53. If you're using Pegasys, they should have provided a video as Mo stated, and they used to have this on their website.

I think you'll find that a lot of people have irritation at the injection site. There were a few things that we found to be very helpful, and which reduced the redness at the site post-injection. One, make sure you've warmed up the Pegasys between your hands before, you don't want to inject cold interferon. Also, massaging the area for a few minutes post-injection was very helpful. Once we started doing these two things, the redness went away for the most part.
My physician prescribed PegIntron and gave me my fist treatment shot (he had a supply in the office). Come to find out that even after our insurance coverage, my out of pocket expense is $973 per month or PegIntron. I simply can't afford to pay this. I did some research and found that Pegasys is comparable and my copay would be $50 per month. I am also taking Ribavirin. I do not know if I can stop the PegIntron and start the Pegasys.
