How to measure and administer a dose of Growth Hormone


Before starting your treatment you need to get plain sterile water for injection and insulin type syringes. You will need 10ml of plain sterile water for a full 100IU kit of Growth Hormone. You will need 10 insulin type syringes. For easy dose measurement It's best if the syringes have 100 marks on them, but if those are unavailable, any will do - in that case you will just need to do some math. Insulin syringes and water should be very cheap so you might want to get a few extra just in case. It's always good to use a fresh syringe for mixing and another fresh syringe for injecting.


??? Step 1
Pull the plastic top of Growth Hormone vial off and clean the rubber top with an alcohol wipe. Rub thoroughly and vigorously over the entire surface area.

??? Step 2
Take off the plastic needle guard from the insulin syringe, and reserve for later. Draw back the plunger, and intake full syringe of air.

??? Step 3
Take the syringe and push the needle down slowly through the very top and middle of the rubber stopper on Growth Hormone vial. When the needle is through the rubber stopper, push down on the plunger, and empty completely the air from within the needle into the vial. This will ease the vacum which is in the vial.

??? Step 4
Clean the rubber top of the sterile water vial (which you bough yourself) with alcohol wipe, in the same way as you cleaned the Growth Hormone top before. Push the needle of the insulin syringe trough that rubber and pull 1ml of water into the syringe. The 1ml measurement should be marked on the side of the syringe (the syringe can have 100 or 40 marks, marked on the side - that does not matter because a full syringe is normally 1ml no matter how many marks it has).

??? Step 5
Take the insulin syringe which is now full with 1ml of sterile water, push the needle trough rubber stopper on top of the Growth Hormone vial. Do not inject the water directly into the powder with force! This may damage the HGH cells. Once the needle is inside, direct it to the side, pointing towards the glass and very slowly empty the entire 1ml of water into the Growth Hormone vial - let the water slide down the glass and touch the powder. When all the water is in, take the insulin syringe out. The HGH will start dissolving slowly. Do not shake it! Take the Growth Hormone vial in your hand and gently turn in between your fingers. It may take up to a few minutes for the powder to completely dissolve.

??? Step 6
You now have dissolved human growth hormone ready for injection. Take a fresh insulin syringe. You may either pull the entire content of Growth Hormone into the insulin syringe and use it multiple times (never touching the needle with your fingers) or you may use a fresh insulin syringe for each injection. In that case you have to do your math and calculate how much you need to pull out each time. Make sure that you thoroughly clean the skin on the injection spot with alcohol before each injection.

??? Step 7
Very gently pull the liquid HGH into the insulin syringe (violent pull may damage the HGH cells). Take the needle out of Growth Hormone vial. You are ready for injection.


Choose an appropriate site for the injection

You should not repeat an injection often on the same body spot. Rather you should always rotate between many different injection sites. The HGH injection can either be given into the muscle or into subcutaneous layer (under the skin). The fatty space directly below the skin is the ideal target for the shallow Growth Hormone injection.

There are a number of appropriate areas throughout the body for an injection. An appropriate area for an injection is anywhere that you can grasp the correct amount of skin as needed for correct administration of the injection.

Abdomen
The abdomen is an effective site for an injection, as the fatty tissue underneath the skin of the abdomen easily absorbs the medication. Additionally, injections in this area can be less painful. Do not give injection too close to the navel (belly button), and also avoid giving the injection too low, as you might experience a painful irritation of the injection zone as it rubs with a waistband or belt.

Thighs
The thigh is another appropriate site for an injection. You can give the injection into either the front (top) or side of the thighs, but should not go into the thigh muscle. The injection should be given midway between the hip and the knee.

The buttocks
The buttocks are another good spot for an injection, and this is one of the least painful spots to receive the injection. You will need a partner to inject in this area. Lay down stomach down, and point your toes out as the injector grasps the skin of the buttock for the injection.

The upper arms
The fleshy part of the upper arm, near the tricep muscle, can also serve as a good spot for an injection.

Always remember to vary the site of the injection widely between the many different possible injections sites on the body.
There can occasional y develop a problem at the site of a repeat injection. Contact your health services provider if you observe any of the following symptoms

A protruding and persistent lump that does not dissipate in time.
A bruise that seems usually persistent, and doesn???t fade in time.

Infection at the site of the injection. Signs of infection are pus, redness, hotness to the touch and a persistent pain or redness.

How to give the injection
You will receive training from your health services provider on how to give an injection skillfully and effectively. You will with time develop the skill and confidence to deliver these injections with ease. With increased practice comes the risk of injury through inattention. You should always focus all of your attention on the correct injection procedure. The instructions that follow are a guide for giving an injection, but you should receive training in the correct method from your health care provider, and you should contact them if you are unsure about any of the injection procedures.


??? Step 1
Remove the clothing from around the area of the injection. You should never try to give an injection through any clothing, and you will need to expose the skin around the site of the injection for a proper cleaning. Take an alcohol pad or alcohol wipe, and thoroughly clean the area around the injection site. To do this, press firmly with the alcohol pad, and wipe around the site of the injection. Make sure that the alcohol has dried completely before beginning the injection.

??? Step 2
Always recheck your syringe to ensure that the correct dosage is ready for administration. Remove the needle guard from the needle tip carefully. Hold the syringe in a manner similar to the way that you would hold a pencil

??? Step 3
Grasp the skin around the injection site between your thumb and forefinger. Hold the skin securely both before and throughout the injection. The needle should be inserted with a confident and firm motion into the skin at a 45 degree angle.

??? Step 4
You should inject the medication slowly and gently. The complete injection of the liquid should take at least a few seconds to complete. When finished the injection, count 5 seconds before taking the needle out of the skin.

??? Step 5
You should cover the injection site with a sterile cotton ball after removing the needle. The area can be massaged if painful. A small quantity of blood may appear, and the injection site can be covered with a band aid if desired, although this is not strictly necessary.

??? Step 6
You should not attempt to recap the used needle. Your health care services official should have instructed you on the correct method for the disposal of both the used syringe and cap. The steps involved in the safe disposal of the used syringe are covered in the text below.

If you experience any difficulties, bad reactions, or have any questions about the injection procedures, you should always contact your health care provider as your primary source of information.
