I have read somewhere that the sun pens are no longer being made. I certainly have not been able to get them for a while.

For Glaxo - I assume you have the little grey box with a pen in one side and 2 vials of meds?  Use the pen to take a vial out of the box then just unscrew the end and tip the needle out. Be sure to hold it over a clean soft surface as the needle falls out very easily.

Then I use a cotton bud as a plunger. It's quite difficult to see how much you are using because the vial has a label round it, so I,ve put a mark on my cotton but so I know how far to push it in.

I first did this when I had a defective batch and the button on top wouldn't work but now I do it every time. My local pharmacy gave me some syringes so now I can inject from the pen into a syringe, and can see how much I'm using. I usually use half of it.

My insurance pays for both the vials and the auto inject.  I have found that injecting the pen directly into the vial works better than trying to take the pens apart.  Hope this helps.

Thanks for the answers. I do know the trick to inject with a little stick. What I was looking for is the trick where you cut of a piece of the injector pin of the Imigran GSK injector. I've tried that but then it does not have the force anymore to inject.......

Another thing I've tried (for the 3rd time) is to convince GSK to make a different injector or maybe even to have a look at non penetrating injectors. They don't care. It's surprising that this company is so rude about suggestions.
