Key injection site management strategies include: Rotating injection sites systematically for example, alternating between the abdomen, thigh, and upper arm to prevent repeated trauma to the same area Allowing the medication to reach room temperature before injection, in accordance with the product's storage instructions, as cold solutions can increase discomfort and local tissue irritation Using a new needle for each injection to maintain sharpness and reduce tissue damage Applying gentle pressure (but not rubbing) to the injection site after administration to minimise bruising Keeping the skin clean and dry around injection sites to reduce the risk of secondary infection Avoiding injection into broken, irritated, or infected skin For mild pruritus or erythema at the injection site, a cool compress applied for a few minutes post-injection can provide symptomatic relief
