Additional information
What if I cannot dial my complete dosage?
If you cannot dial your dose, you should inject the indicated dose and
then complete the injection with a new cartridge. For example: If you
reach a dose value of 14 clicks in the window instead of the desired
20 clicks. You should inject the 14 clicks. Then you should change the
cartridge, not forgetting to change the needle. And set your next dose
to 6 clicks (20 minus 14) and inject this amount. This will allow you
to have the correct dose and not waste any product. Caution: Never force
the dose dial if you do not obtain the required dosing amount.
What if I cannot set a dose?
Verify if the cartridge is empty. If so, follow instruction of section
II Installing /Changing the cartridge of this manual.
What if I have gone too far in dialling the dose?
Turn the green dose dial backwards to correct the dose.
What if the green dose button turns freely?
If the green dose dial turns freely with no clicking, the one.click is
probably not activated. Repeat the activation step (point 3,4,5 of section
IV) ensuring that the blue activation cap is pushed down far enough into
the one.click or that the cartridge cover is screwed on completely.
What if the needle is stuck in the one.click and I cannot remove it?
When the one.click is activated, the needle is hidden. To remove a stuck
needle, you need to remove the cartridge cover. Once the cartridge cover
is removed you can safely remove the needle by putting the outer cover
on and unscrewing it.
What if I cannot place the blue activation cap to activate the one.click?
You should check if an old inner needle shield has not been left in the
blue activation cap.
What if I forget to insert the needle?
You will not be able to activate the one.click nor to dial a dose.
What if the disc on the plunger rod is not properly positioned against
the cartridge plunger?
Verify that the cartridge holder is properly screwed up into the main
body. Turn until a light ratchet sound in heard.

SAIZEN ONE
CLICK Anti Aging Treatment INFORMATION
Formula:
Each ampoule with lyophilised powder contains: Somatropin 8 mg, equivalent
to 24 IU, excipient sufficient amount. The cartridge with the diluting
agent contains: Metacresol 0.3%, Injectable water sufficient
amount for 1.37 ml To use the One-Click® self-injecting
device.
PROPERTIES:
The active principle in SAIZEN® is Somatropin, a biosynthetic human
growth hormone produced from mammary cells through genetic engineering.
It contains 191 amino acids in identical sequence to the natural hormone
produced by the pituitary gland. SAIZEN® promotes an increase in
the average growth rhythm by somotomedins or by growth factors similar
to insulin.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Individual hypersensitivity to the active component in the product. Diabetes
mellitus should be considered as a relative contraindication. In patients
suffering from diabetes mellitus, treatment should be carried out under
strict medical and laboratory supervision. SAIZEN® must not be
used if there is any evidence of a concomitant cerebral tumour.
ADVERSE
EFFECTS:
Pharmacoginetic and toxicological studies carried out with SAIZEN® and
pit-hGH have proven that the safety of the recombinant product is similar
to that of the natural growth hormone and that the drug itself does not
produce adverse effects. Nonetheless, treatment with human proteins may
cause reactions due to hypersensitivity (such as redness and itchiness
in the area of the injection site, formation of antibodies with or without
the attenuating effect of growth, or both). In a small number of patients
where short stature is the result of a genetic defect (depletion of the
gene complex for hGH), somatropin treatment may stimulate the production
of antibodies which attenuate growth in the majority of cases.
PRECAUTIONS:
Treatment must be carried out under strict periodic medical supervision.
Patients with a deficiency of the growth hormone secondary to an intracraneal
lesion should be examined frequently in order to follow the progression
or recurrence of the underlying pathological process in the same area.
Administering SAIZEN® subcutaneously in the same site over a prolonged
period of time may cause lipoatrophy. Changing the injection site each
time can prevent this.
INTERACTIONS:
Concomitant therapy with corticoids may inhibit the growth promoting
effect of somatropin.
DIRECTIONS
FOR USE:
Before using the One-Click® self-injecting device, Avoid
shaking since this may bring about a slight darkening of the solution.
ADMINISTRATION
METHOD
SAIZEN® is administered subcutaneously using the One-Click® self-injecting
device and preferably at night. The dosage and method of administering
SAIZEN® will vary according to each patient.
DOSAGE:
According to your doctors instructions. Store at room temperature,
no higher than 25º C. Protect from the light. Do not administer this
product if the seal has been broken. Do not use after the expiry date.
Once mixed, the product may be refrigerated between 2ºC and 8ºC for up
to 28 days.
PRESENTATION:
Box of either one or five sealed packs. Each contains: pre-assembled
ampoule with lyophilised powder and cartridge with diluting agent in
a click-easy® reconstruction kit, and a rod for administration
with the one-click® self-injecting device. Keep out
of the reach of children. Do not use this pharmaceutical product if
you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Sold by medical prescription.
