Emgality®▼ (galcanezumab) Device: Information on Air Bubbles
It is normal to have air bubbles in the pen or syringe. The medicine is injected under the skin (subcutaneous injection).
The presence of the air bubble is due to the syringe manufacturing process. It will not cause harm or affect the accuracy of the dose.1
Patients should not try to remove or expel the air bubble in the device. Removal of the air bubble before injecting is not necessary and not recommended.1
The instructions for using the pen or syringe included with the Package Leaflet, must be followed carefully. The pre-filled pen and pre-filled syringe is for total use only.2
After training, patients may self-inject galcanezumab if a healthcare professional determines that it is appropriate.3
