Why should I swing my arm to inject?

Swinging your arm when injecting EpiPen® is recommended to help:

  • Provide enough load on the tip of EpiPen® to deliver an intramuscular injection
  • Provide the ideal angle to inject EpiPen® into the middle of your outer thigh (ie, perpendicular or 90 degrees to the injection site)

You do not need to apply excessive force to the swing, just enough to gain sufficient momentum to ensure the auto-injector deploys.
