CARING FOR YOUR SKIN
Medications that are administered under the skin
may cause skin reactions leading to redness,
tenderness, itching and the development of
nodules (hardening of the skin at the injection
site). These skin reactions are not dangerous and
can be managed through good skincare practise
and by altering the injection site
• Inject at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from your belly button
and any recent injection sites.
• Insert the needle at 90 degrees to the surface of your skin.
• Keep your skin dry and be sure to wipe away any drops of
Dacepton
®
.
• Massage your skin by hand or with a massage device, as
this may help prevent the formation of skin nodules.
• Do not inject into a skin fold or scar tissue and do not
inject into an area of skin that is red, sore, infected or
damaged.
If persistent skin reactions occur, please consult your
healthcare professional or your D-mine
®
Care nurse.
