Air bubbles in the pre-filled pen and the pre-filled syringe are normal. They will not harm the user or affect the dose.

Further information

The air bubble is a normal part of the syringe manufacturing process for Taltz devices.2

The user 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. Doing so can affect the dose.2
