VLS | Accelerate Your Weight Loss Journey

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

1. Take a new needle, and tear off the paper tab.
2. Do not attach a new needle to your pen until you are ready to give your injection.

Step 4:

Step 5:

1. The needle is covered by 2 caps. You must remove both caps. If you forget to remove both caps, you will not inject any medicine.
2. Pull off the outer needle cap. Do not throw it away.

Step 6:

Step 7:

1. Check the VLS pen flow before the first injection with each new pen only.
2. Turn the dose selector until the dose counter shows the flow check symbol ▪▪▰

Step 8:

1. Hold the pen with the needle pointing up. Press and hold in the dose button until the dose counter shows 0. The 0 must line up with the dose pointer. A drop of liquid will appear at the needle tip.
2. If no drop appears, repeat Step 7 above as shown in Figure G and Figure H up to 6 times.
3. If there is still no drop, change the needle and repeat Step 7 as shown in Figure G and Figure H, 1 more time.
Do not use the pen if a drop of liquid still does not appear. Contact at vls-pen@protonmail.com.

Step 9:

Select your dose
1. Turn the dose selector until the dose counter stops and shows your desired dose. The dashed line in the dose counter (┇) will guide you.
2. Always use the dose counter and the dose pointer to see that your selected dose has been selected. You will hear a “click” every time you turn the dose selector. Do not set the dose by counting the number of clicks you hear.

Step 10:

To see how much VLS solution is left in your pen, use the dose counter:
1. Turn the dose selector until the dose counter stops.
2. If it shows 1, at least 1 mg is left in your pen. If the dose counter stops before 1 mg, there is not enough VLS solution left for a full dose of 1 mg.
If there is not enough VLS liquid left in your pen for a full dose, do not use it. Use a new VLS pen.

Step 11:

Inject your dose
1. Choose your injection site and wipe the skin with an alcohol swab. Let the injection site dry before you inject your dose (See Figure K).

Step 12:

1. Insert the needle into your skin as your healthcare provider has shown you.
2. Make sure you can see the dose counter. Do not cover it with your fingers. This could stop the injection.

Step 13:

Step 14:

1. Count 6 seconds while keeping the dose button pressed.
2. If the needle is removed earlier, you may see a stream of VLS solution coming from the needle tip. If this happens, the full dose will not be delivered.

Step 15:

1. Remove the needle from your skin. You can then release the dose button.
2. If blood appears at the injection site, press lightly with a gauze pad or cotton ball.
Do not rub the area.

Step 16:

After your injection
1. Carefully remove the needle from the pen. Do not put the needle caps back on the needle to avoid needle sticks.

Step 17:

1. Place the needle in a sharps disposal container right away to reduce the risk of needle sticks.

Step 18:

Step 19:

1. If you do not have a sharps disposal container, follow a 1-handed needle recapping method. Carefully slip the needle into the outer needle cap. Dispose of the needle in a sharps disposal container as soon as possible.
2. Never try to put the inner needle cap back on the needle. Always remove the needle from your pen.
3. Always dispose of the needle after each injection.
