About: Injector pen

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

An injector pen (also called a medication pen) is a device used for injecting medication under the skin. First introduced in the 1980s, injector pens are designed to make injectable medication easier and more convenient to use, thus increasing patient adherence. The primary difference between injector pens and traditional vial and syringe administration is the easier use of an injector pen by people with low dexterity, poor vision, or who need portability to administer medicine on time. Injector pens also decrease the fear or adversity towards self-injection of medications, which increases the likelihood that a person takes the medication.

  • An injector pen (also called a medication pen) is a device used for injecting medication under the skin. First introduced in the 1980s, injector pens are designed to make injectable medication easier and more convenient to use, thus increasing patient adherence. The primary difference between injector pens and traditional vial and syringe administration is the easier use of an injector pen by people with low dexterity, poor vision, or who need portability to administer medicine on time. Injector pens also decrease the fear or adversity towards self-injection of medications, which increases the likelihood that a person takes the medication. Injector pens are commonly used for medications that are injected repeatedly by a person over a relatively short period of time, especially insulin and insulin analogs used in the treatment of diabetes (called insulin pens). Many other medications are also available as injector pens, including other injectable medicines for diabetes, high cholesterol, migraine prevention, and other monoclonal antibodies. Studies have shown injector pens to be at least as effective as vial and syringe administration, and surveys have shown that a vast majority of people would prefer an injector pen over vial and syringe administration if one was available. After a slow uptake in the United States, injector pens have surpassed vial and syringe administration of insulin in type 2 diabetes. (en)
  • 注射筆(英語:injector pen)是用於在皮下組織或肌肉注射藥物的設備,於1980年代首次推出。發明注射筆的主要目的在於讓使用者更方便地注射藥物,增加用藥依從性。對於手部較不靈巧、視力較差、需要隨身攜帶藥物的使用者而言,注射筆較傳統的注射器方便。注射筆還減少了使用者對自我注射藥物的恐懼和現實障礙,令他們更願意施用藥物。 注射筆通常載有需要於相對較短的時間內重複注射的藥物,像是用於治療糖尿病的胰島素或胰島素類似物(它們統稱為胰島素筆)。治療低血糖症、關節炎、預防偏頭痛的藥物也可透過注射筆注射到體內。研究表明,注射筆至少跟傳統注射器給藥一樣有效。多項調查的結果亦顯示,若要人們从注射筆和傳統注射器中選擇一款作注射工具,那麼絕大多數人都會選擇注射筆。美國的2型糖尿病患者最初多使用傳統注射器,但在胰島素筆出現後,愈來愈多患者使用後者,最終使得它的使用人數超越傳統注射器。 (zh)
