General Injection Safety Principles (If Applicable)
While I cannot provide Exocleo-specific guidance, if this is a subcutaneous or intramuscular injectable medication, the following general principles from current guidelines may apply:
For Subcutaneous Injections:
- Use 4-mm needles inserted at 90 degrees for all patients regardless of BMI, as this is the safest length with minimal risk of intramuscular injection 1, 2
- Clean hands before administration and ensure injection sites are clean 1, 2
- Rotate injection sites systematically to avoid lipohypertrophy 2
- Never inject into areas with inflammation, infection, or scarring 1
Universal Safety Standards:
- Never share injection devices between patients, even with needle changes 1, 3
- Use sterile technique and single-use needles 3, 4
- Dispose of needles immediately after use in appropriate sharps containers 1
Please verify the actual product name and obtain manufacturer-specific instructions before administering any medication.
