It will be given to you by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinical setting. It is given as a subcutaneous (under the skin). Do not self-administer the injection. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of the treatment based on your disease severity, body weight, and other factors.

Side effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Even though all drugs cause side effects, not everyone gets them. Serious Critical illnesses Intracranial hypertension (strong headache, visual disturbances or vomiting) Severe abdominal pain High blood glucose level Common Joint pain Injection site reaction (redness, itchiness, or pain) Numbness Swelling (puffy fingers or swollen ankles) Rash Itching Bumps on the skin (itchy) Pain or burning in the hand/ underarms Stiffness

It is recommended to get enough rest if you have joint pain, stiffness, or headache. Placing a cool compression over the injection site can give some relief at that place. It is advised to move the limb, which will help prevent joint stiffness in individuals. Inform your doctor if you're going to take a lab test; it may interfere with the result and affect the accuracy of the results you obtain.
