BETASERON is injected under the skin and into the fat

layer between the skin and the muscles (subcutaneous

tissue). The best areas for injection are where the skin is

loose and soft and away from the joints, nerves, and bones

such as the stomach (abdomen), upper arm, thigh or

buttock.

Do not

use the area near your navel or waistline.

If you are very thin, use only the thigh or outer surface of

the arm for injection. Choose a different site each time you

give yourself an injection.

Do not

inject in the same area

for 2 injections in a row.

Step 1: Clean the injection site

Clean the injection site with an alcohol prep pad using a

circular motion. Start at the injection site and move

outward. Let the skin area air dry.

Step 2: Remove the needle cap

Remove the needle cap by pulling it off at the front of the

BETACONNECT.

Do not

twist the needle cap when

removing it.

Important:

Be careful not to accidentally press the

injection button while removing the needle cap
