Troubleshooting

Problem

Solution

A. The yellow shaft is still showing after I push in the black injection button. How do I reset my Teriparatide Teva Pen?

To reset theTeriparatideTeva Pen, follow the steps below.

  • 1) If you have already injected, DO NOT inject yourself a second time on the same day.

  • 2) Remove the needle.

  • 3) Attach a new needle, pull off the large needle cover and save it.

  • 4) Pull out the black injection button until it stops. Check to make sure the red stripe shows.

  • 5) Pull off the small needle protector and throw away.

  • 6) Point the needle down into an empty container. Push in the black injection button until it stops. Hold it in and slowly count to five. You may see a small stream or drop of fluid. When you have finished, the black injection button should be all the way in.

  • 7) If you still see the yellow shaft showing, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

  • 8) Put the large needle cover on needle. Unscrew the needle all the way by giving the needle cover 3 to 5 counter-clockwise turns. Pull off the covered needle and throw away as instructed by your healthcare provider. Push the blue cap back on, and put yourTeriparati­deTeva Pen in the refrigerator.

You can prevent this problem by always using a NEW needle for each injection, and by pushing the black injection button all the way in and slowly counting to five.

B. How can I tell if my TeriparatideTeva Pen works?

The black injection button should be all the way in to show that the full dose of medicine has been injected from theTeriparatideTeva Pen. Use a new needle every time you inject to be sure yourTeriparatide Teva Pen will work properly.

C. I can see an air bubble in my Teriparatide Teva Pen.

A small air bubble will not affect your dose and it will not harm you. You can continue to take your dose as usual.

D. I cannot get the needle off

  • 1) Put the large needle cover on the needle.

  • 2) Use the large needle cover to unscrew the needle.

  • 3) Unscrew the needle all the way by giving the large needle cover 3 to 5 counter-clockwise turns.

  • 4) If you still cannot get the needle off, ask someone to help you.

E. What should I do if I have difficulty pulling out the black injection button?

Change to a newTeriparatideTeva Pen to take your dose as instructed by your healthcare provider. When the black injection button becomes hard to pull out, this means there is not enough medicine in your TeriparatideTeva Pen for another dose.You may still see some medicine left in the cartridge.
