To set a 5 MIU dose using the 5 MIU multidose pen, turn the cap 2 full turns (10 clicks) = 5.0 MIU.

To set a 10 MIU dose using the 10 MIU multidose pen, turn the cap 2 full turns (10 clicks) = 10.0 MIU.

15.
After each complete turn, make sure the triangle on the cap is lined up with the dosage indicator on the pen barrel.
IF YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER HAS PRESCRIBED A DOSE OTHER THAN 3.0, 5.0, OR 10.0 MIU, THE DOSE CAN BE SET BY TURNING THE CAP AS MANY TIMES AS SHOWN BELOW:

A dose prescribed other than 3.0 MIU from the 3 MIU multidose pen

1 full turn (5 clicks) = 1.5 MIU
3 full turns (15 clicks) = 4.5 MIU
4 full turns (20 clicks) = 6.0 MIU

A dose prescribed other than 5.0 MIU from the 5 MIU multidose pen

1 full turn (5 clicks) = 2.5 MIU
3 full turns (15 clicks) = 7.5 MIU
4 full turns (20 clicks) = 10.0 MIU

A dose prescribed other than 10.0 MIU from the 10 MIU multidose pen

1 full turn (5 clicks) = 5.0 MIU
3 full turns (15 clicks) = 15.0 MIU
4 full turns (20 clicks) = 20.0 MIU

16.
Check the push button scale to make sure you have set the correct dose.
17.
If you have set a wrong dose, turn the cap back (counterclockwise) as far as you can until the push button is all the way in and the push button scale is completely covered, then begin at step 13 again.
18.
Gently warm the INTRON® A Solution for Injection by slowly rolling the capped Multidose Pen in the palms of your hands for about one minute. DO NOT SHAKE.
19.
Place the Multidose Pen on your flat work surface until you are ready to inject INTRON A.
Choosing an injection site

You should inject a dose of INTRON® A subcutaneously (under the skin). If it is too difficult for you to inject, ask someone who has been trained to give injections to help you.

The best sites for injection are areas on your body with a layer of fat between skin and muscle such as:

the front of the middle thighs
the outer area of the upper arms
the abdomen, except around the navel

You should use a different site each time you inject INTRON A to avoid soreness at any one site. Do not inject INTRON A into an area where the skin is irritated, red, bruised, infected or has scars, stretch marks, or lumps.

Injecting your dose of INTRON® A

1.
Clean the injection site with a new alcohol swab.
2.
Pick up the Multidose Pen from your flat work surface and remove the cap from the needle.
3.
With one hand, pinch a fold of the skin at the cleaned injection site.
4.
With the other hand, hold the Multidose Pen (like a pencil) at a 45-degree angle to the skin. With a quick "dart-like" motion, push the needle into the skin.

5.
After the needle is in, remove the hand used to pinch the skin and use it to hold the pen barrel. If blood comes into the pen reservoir, the needle has entered a blood vessel. Do not inject INTRON A. Withdraw the needle and discard the used Multi-dose pen in the puncture-proof container. Contact your healthcare provider. Repeat the steps to prepare for an injection.
6.
If no blood is present in the pen reservoir, inject the medicine by gently pressing the push button all the way down.
7.
Leave the needle in place for a few seconds while holding down the push button.
8.
Slowly release the push button and pull the needle out of the skin.
9.
Place a cotton ball or gauze over the injection site an
