Cosentyx - Week 1....and beyond....

[angel-1963]

I used almost the same injection site as last week which I hear is a NO NO.

No you must move to a different site each time.

#1 You can use your left then your right thigh.

#2 You can use the left and right side of your belly button. (*Keep a couple of inch's away from your belly button.)

#3 You can also use your left and right top of the arm, but more difficult on your own.

#4 You can also use your buttocks, but not many people do.  

When I was using Enbrel Twice a week I followed this protocol marked on my calendar for each shot.

Left Belly (LB)

Left Thigh (LT)

Right Thigh (RT)

Right Belly (RB)

And then start all over again.

That way you will avoid any problems of going in the same site to often.  

Hey Fred!

I prefer to always use my thighs.  Never the stomach.  Never an arm.    I have to do 3 more weeks of  2 injections each time.    I used both thighs, never into the same thigh.   I suppose if I move higher up on the thighs next week  and not in the middle of them will be okay?  Or closer to the side of each thigh instead of on top?   Thanks for your suggestions!!
