Before You Begin
The SKYTROFA Auto-Injector
The auto-injector is an electronic, reusable
device for people needing injections
of SKYTROFA. It automates parts of the
procedure for injecting SKYTROFA. The
auto-injector is designed for personal
home use, so that the injections may be
given without the assistance of a medical
professional.
The SKYTROFA Cartridge
SKYTROFA comes in a single-use cartridge.
The cartridge has 2 chambers, 1 filled with
powder and 1 filled with water. The
auto-injector automatically mixes the
powder and the water during preparation,
making it ready for injection.
The Needle
The single-use needle comes with
SKYTROFA cartridges and is used for
injecting the medicine.
