Instructions for Use

NGENLA® (en’ JEN-lah)

(somatrogon-ghla)

24 mg
injection, for subcutaneous use


Read this Instructions for Use before you start using NGENLA and each time you get a new refill. There may be new information. This information does not take the place of talking to your healthcare provider about your medical condition or treatment.

Important information about your NGENLA pen:

The NGENLA pen for injection is a single-patient-use, disposable (throw away) prefilled pen containing 24 mg of medicine. You can give more than 1 dose from the pen.
NGENLA can be given by a patient, caregiver or healthcare provider. Do not try to inject NGENLA yourself until you are shown the right way to give the injections and read and understand the Instructions for Use. If your healthcare provider decides that you or a caregiver may be able to give your injections of NGENLA at home, you should receive training on the right way to prepare and inject NGENLA. It is important that you read, understand, and follow these instructions so that you inject NGENLA the right way.
It is important to talk to your healthcare provider to be sure you understand your NGENLA dosing instructions. To help you remember when to inject NGENLA, you can mark your calendar ahead of time. Call your healthcare provider if you or your caregiver have any questions about the right way to inject NGENLA, or call the helpline on 1-800-645-1280.
Do not share your pen with other people, even if the needle has been changed. You may give other people a serious infection or get a serious infection from them.
Each turn (click) of the dose knob dials 0.2 mg of medicine. You can give from 0.2 mg to 12 mg in a single injection. If your dose is more than 12 mg, you will need to give more than 1 injection.
A new pen may contain slightly more than 24 mg of medicine, this is normal.
Always use a new sterile needle for each injection. This will decrease the risk of contamination, infection, leakage of medicine, and blocked needles leading to the wrong dose.
Do not shake your pen. Shaking can damage the medicine.
The pen is not recommended for use by the blind or visually impaired without the assistance of a person trained in the proper use of the product.

Preparing for your injection

Step 1 - Getting ready

Wash and dry your hands.
You can use your pen straight from the refrigerator. For a more comfortable injection, leave your pen at room temperature for up to 30 minutes.
Check the name, strength, and label of your pen to make sure it is the medicine your healthcare provider has prescribed for you.
Check the expiration date on the pen label. Do not use if the expiration date has passed.
Do not use your pen if:
o
it has been frozen or exposed to heat
o
it has been dropped
o
it looks broken or damaged
o
it has been more than 28 days after first use of the pen.
Do not remove the pen cap from your pen - until you are ready to inject.

Step 2 - Choose and clean your injection site

Step 2
NGENLA can be given in the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, or upper arms.
Choose the best place to inject, as recommended by your healthcare provider.
If more than 1 injection is needed to complete your full dose, each injection should be given in a different injection site.
Do not inject into bony areas, areas that are bruised, red, sore or hard, and areas that have scars or skin conditions.
Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab.
Allow the injection site to dry.
Do not touch injection site after cleaning.

Step 3 - Check medicine

Image

New pen set up (priming) – for the first use of a new pen only

You must set up each new pen (priming) before using it for the first time

New pen set up is done before each new pen is used for the first time.
The purpose of setting up a new pen is to remove air bubbles and make sure you get the correct dose.
Important: Skip Step-A through to Step-C if you have already set up your pen.
Note: Needles with safety shield should be primed once with first use of a new pen.

A - Set priming dose

Image
Turn the dose knob to 0.4.
o
This is the amount to prime the pen.
 
Note: If you turn the dose knob too far, you can turn it back.

B - Tap cartridge holder

Image
Hold the pen with the needle pointing up so that the air bubbles can rise.
Tap the cartridge holder gently to float any air bubbles to the top.
Important: Follow Step-B even if you do not see air bubbles.

C - Press button and check for liquid

Image
Press the injection button until it cannot go any further and "0" is shown in the dose window.
Check for liquid at the needle tip. If liquid appears, your pen is set up.
Always make sure that a drop of liquid appears before you inject. If liquid has not appeared, repeat Step-A through to Step-C.
o
If liquid does not appear after you have repeated Step-A through Step-C five (5) times, attach a new needle and try 1 more time. Do not use the pen if a drop of liquid still does not appear. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist and use a new pen.

Setting your prescribed dose

Step 7 - Set your dose

Step 7

Example A:

3.8 mg shown in the dose window

Example A

Example B:

12.0 mg shown in the dose window

Example B
Turn the dose knob to set your dose.
o
The dose can be increased or decreased by turning the dose knob in either direction.
o
The dose knob turns 0.2 mg at a time.
o
Your pen contains 24 mg of medicine but you can only set a dose of up to 12 mg for a single injection.
o
The dose window shows the dose in mg. See Examples A and B.
Always check the dose window to make sure you have set the correct dose.
Important: Do not press the injection button while setting your dose.

What should I do if I cannot set the dose I need?

If your dose is more than 12 mg you will need to split your dose into more than 1 injection.
You can give from 0.2 mg to 12 mg in a single injection.
o
Use a new needle for each injection (See Step 4: Attach needle).
o
If you normally need to give 2 injections for your full dose, be sure to give your second dose.

What should I do if I do not have enough medicine left in my pen?

If your pen contains less than 12 mg of medicine, the dose knob will stop with the remaining amount of medicine shown in the dose window.
If there is not enough medicine left in your pen for your full dose, you may either:
o
Inject the amount left in your pen, then prepare a new pen to complete your dose in full. Remember to subtract the dose you have already received. For example, if the dose is 3.8 mg and you can only set the dose knob to 1.8 mg, you should inject another 2.0 mg with a new pen.
o
Or get a new pen and inject the full dose.

Only split your dose if you have been trained or told by your healthcare provider on how to do this.

Injecting your dose

Step 8 - Insert the needle

Step 8
Hold your pen so you can see the numbers in the dose window.
Insert the needle straight into your skin.
