- check the medicine, dose and timing against your prescription
- watch for any reaction after an injection
- keep clear records of every injection
- let your GP or specialist know if something changes
Injections and your wider care
Injections often sit alongside other parts of your treatment. See our medication management and chronic disease management services, or visit Diabetes Australia for information about living with diabetes.
When to get help
If you notice swelling, a rash or other changes after an injection, tell your nurse or doctor. If you have trouble breathing or think you may be having a severe allergic reaction, call 000.
Injection assistance: questions
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. Your injections need to be prescribed by your doctor or specialist, and our nurses follow that plan.
How often can the nurse visit?
It depends on your treatment. Tell us what has been prescribed and when, and we will talk through a visit schedule that fits.
