He will know if HGH is applicable to you or not. This medication can be done through self injection. All you need are alcohol, a syringe and HGH. Follow these simple steps on how to inject HGH.

Inject HGH

Step # 1: Prepare some things necessary in administering injectable HGH.

Before anything else, you must wash your hands thoroughly using soap and warm water. Choose the right place to administer the injection. A well-lit, clean hard surface is recommended. You can use your bathroom countertop if available. Be sure you have all the necessary things that you may need. Check the packaging and wrapping of the product if they are intact and not tampered. It is also important to double check the expiration date of the product. After checking all the products, clean the top of the vials with alcohol wipes moving in only one direction. You must also use one wipe per vial. Now you are ready to inject HGH.

Step # 2: Clean the area with alcohol.

Your doctor will inform you the right area to administer the injection. The area must be wiped with alcohol right before you inject HGH to be sure that there is no bacteria that would enter the blood stream.

Step # 3: Prepare the syringe for injection.

At first, remove the syringe from its wrapper and be sure that the needle is tightly placed inside the syringe. This is to assure that the needle and syringe will not be disconnected when administering the injection.

Step # 4: Get the prescribed dosage.

To get the prescribed dosage, insert the syringe through the rubber stopper into the vial and draw up the required dose of HGH. If you happen to touch the stopper with your finger, use alcohol to wipe and clean it.  Turn the vial upside down while your needle tip is inside it. Release the air into the vial to maintain a balance internal and external pressure. This will enhance an easier medication withdrawal.

Hold the vial and syringe with one hand and slowly draw up the liquid into the syringe. While holding the vial upside down, tap the syringe’s side gently so that the air bubbles will go to the top of the barrel of the syringe. Push the plunger slowly to eject the air bubbles through the needle then remove the syringe and needle from the vial.

Step # 5: Get ready to inject HGH.

Remove the needle cap and gently pinch the skin together around the area of injection. Quickly insert the needle into the skin at a 90-degree angle and while the needle is in the muscle, pull back the plunger slowly and check if there is any blood inside the syringe. If there is no blood it means that you did not hit any blood vessel. After injecting all the solution, immediately pull out the needle and the syringe and gently massage the area with a gauge or a clean tissue.

Step # 6: Be cautious for any reactions.

After administering the injection, watch for the injected area if there are any signs of reaction. If there are symptoms like irritation or redness that occurs, consult your physician immediately for any advice if you need to discontinue the medication.

Learning how to inject HGH starts from knowing the things to prepare and ends up to that part that you need to ask doctor’s help when necessary. Since this requires a very delicate procedure, you have to take instructions to the letter.
