Clogged pen needle. 

Replace the needle with a new one.

Check if the cartridge was properly
installed. There should be no space
between the plunger and the cartridge.

Incorrectly installed 
teriparatide cartridge.

After the injection the green 

dot did not appear in the the 
window displaying the end

of injection

There was not enough 
teriparatide in the cartridge 
to inject the full set dose.

HOW TO ELIMINATE:

Note the number of units remaining, as it 
corresponds to the number of 

mcg

 of teriparatide 

which you must inject to complete the injection. 
Attach the outer needle shield and remove the 
needle. Replace the old cartridge with a new one, 
accordingly to Section 7. Prepare the pen injector 
to use accordingly to the actions described in 
steps 7 to 10. Perform the priming dose injection. 
Complete the interrupted dose delivery by turning
the dose selector until the figure, which you have 
seen in the selector window, appears. Follow 
steps  14 through 15.
