Prefilled Pen devices: writing the next chapter in medication administration
The origins of the pen device
The last few years have seen a number of
exciting and revolutionary developments in the administration of
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) for the treatment of infertility
- developments that offer incredible benefits to patients
undergoing fertility treatment in terms of consistency, safety and
efficacy, as well as lifestyle needs.
The latest innovation has been the introduction of
the prefilled pen
device.
Pen devices have been in use in medical circles since the 1980s,
for the treatment of diabetes, and other chronic illnesses. The
initial rationale for the introduction of pen devices for this
purpose was that, in comparison with the traditional syringe
method, pen devices:
- Allow a quicker injection of the dose (no
need for the patient to prepare the syringe before injecting)
- Make it easier to select the desired dose
(most pens include a “dial-a-dose” ring allowing for clear
legibility of the set dosage)
- Reduce the errors in administration (by
avoiding the need for the drug to be reconstituted before
injection)
- Have a minimum number of components,
facilitating travelling and handling
The very latest advance in pen devices -
Prefilled pen devices have simplified the whole procedure of
self-administering treatments. Prefilled Pen devices
today represent the ultimate choice in terms of ease of use and
accuracy of dosing. Today they are seen as a means
of improving the quality of life for the patient.
