The absorption of GONAL-f® is the same regardless of the injection site selected. You may find the injection is more comfortable if you vary the site each time you inject GONAL-f®.

If you pass your dose, simply turn the injection button back to the correct dose. To adjust the dose, you can turn the injection button either clockwise or counter-clockwise. After confirming the correct dose from the display window, you can proceed with the injection.

When you cannot push the injection button down, it means your pen is empty and it is unable to provide you with your desired dose. You may see a small amount of medication remaining in the pen. This is normal.

If the dose display shows a number higher than 0 after your injection, this indicates that the pen is empty and that the complete dose has not been given. If this happens, the number shown in the dose display indicates the missing amount of GONAL-f® solution that is needed to complete your dose. This is the dose you need to inject using a new pen. To complete your dose, follow the steps previously described to set the dose to the missing amount displayed on the empty pen that you have just finished, and proceed with the injection.

IMPORTANT: If you see a large air bubble inside the reservoir you need to remove it. Refer to “Removing large air bubbles” section in the injection guide for further instructions. An air bubble is large if it fills fully the tip of the reservoir when holding the pre-filled Pen with the needle pointing upwards. Small air bubbles that stick to the inner wall of the reservoir do not need to be removed. They are not harmful.
