Re: Kineret Injections-Poll

[Guest guest]

April,

That’s something I’ve never heard about using Kineret. To do it at a 45

degree angle. It would seem like they could just use a shorter needle to help

make it truly just under the skin. Even the auto injector explains the use to

put it directly even with the skin.

Now I’m confused so will take a poll.

“â€â€â€â€â€â€â€If you use Kineret, please respond as to whether you

insert the needle at an angle, and if you use an auto

injector.â€â€â€â€â€â€

They way I was told and do it is to do it at an angle, about a 45 degree or so.

That way you get under the skin, but not into the tissues beneath the skin. I

did it wrong for afew days until I got my TB test. The nurse that did my TBtest

told me the test was an injection subq and when she did it I saw how she did it,

so I asked her about it, and she explained the concept to me. I have been doing

it that way ever since. I use the top and sides of my thighs and my abdomen.

Honestly, the abdomen does not seem to sting and burn as much. It is hard to

find a spot sometimes. I have spider veins on my thighs and stretchmarks from

pregnancies on my abdomen, and I stay away from an area I have injected

recently. It works just fine, though.

When you fill your prescription, there should be a medication guide inside each

box. It used to have a picture showing this. Does it not anymore? I have not

read the medication guide in a very long time. I am going to go look at mine now

and see.

I used Kineret several years and had the auto injector. I put it flushed against

my skin. But I did the angle with Enbrel.

Take care,

Ok, the picture in the medication guide shows to use a 45 OR 90 degree angle,

but it doesn't make sense to me to use the 90 degree angle if you want to keep

themedication underneath the skin. I remember now trying to do it at the 90

degree angle(remember, I started over 2 years ago and could not hardly use my

hands) I could not do it at the 90 degree angle. I used the 45 and it worked

like a charm. The skin bulges up just a bit, but that is normal because you are

putting a fluid underneath it that is not normally there. I have seen it happen

on people and in animals when they are injected with fluids under the skin. It

goes down quickly because it is a tiny amount and absorbed quickly. It does

sting! My doctor said it's partly because of the med & partly due to the nerves

underthe skin.

Hello All and thanks Bari,

Here is a link to the package insert from Kineret. The only requirement besides

injecting Sub-Q, is that it be administered at approximately the same time each

day. There is no mention of it needing to be injected at an angle that I can

find. So I am assuming that we have been administering correctly by inserting

the needle directly into the skin at a 90 degree angle. This still administers

the medication below the skin, as long as now muscle is in the way which would

mean to look for fatty area.
