Key Facts About the PEG-INTRON® REDIPEN®

Using the PEG-INTRON® REDIPEN® instead of traditional vial and syringe:

80% of patients surveyed said that the PEG-INTRON® REDIPEN® gives them the features they want in an injection system.¹ However, if you're currently being treated with the PEG-INTRON® vial and syringe, you should check with your doctor to make sure the switch is right for you.

The PEG-INTRON® REDIPEN® is designed to be more patient-friendly than a traditional syringe, with advanced features such as an easy-to-read dosing button for precise, weight-based dosing of PEG-INTRON®, a self-priming action that automatically removes air bubbles from the pen, and the smallest needle size (30-gauge) available to help minimize discomfort.

The accuracy of my dosage:

You can rest assured that you are injecting the correct amount of medication by using the PEG-INTRON® REDIPEN®. During administration, you simply "dial" your prescribed dose by turning the dosing button until the dose number aligns with the dosing tab's solid line. Then, during the delivery process, you depress the dosing button completely and hold for five seconds. The five-second period ensures that you have injected the proper amount of medication.

Storing the PEG-INTRON® REDIPEN®:

Always store the PEG-INTRON® REDIPEN® in your refrigerator. When you are ready to take your PEG-INTRON® medication, you should allow time for it to reach room temperature before administration. Your health care provider will go over this process with you before you use the PEG-INTRON® REDIPEN® for the first time.
