REDIPEN™:
Features and Benefits

The REDIPEN™ features make it an
easy-to-use alternative to the traditional
vial and syringe


The REDIPEN™ makes the process easy by allowing you to administer your precise, individualized dose of PEG-INTRON® in three easy steps: Mix, Dial and Deliver.

Your REDIPEN™ Package

The PEG-INTRON® REDIPEN™ is designed to be patient-friendly. You will receive a complete package that includes everything you need to administer a single weekly dose of PEG-INTRON®:
  • a tray holder,
  • a self-priming needle in the REDIPEN™, which means that a self-priming action automatically removes air bubbles from the pen prior to administration,
  • an easy-to-read dial-up dosing button in the REDIPEN™ that offers precise, individualized weight-based dosing of PEG-INTRON®,
  • a small needle (30 gauge) to help minimize discomfort, and
  • 2 alcohol swabs
