Treating Psoriatic Arthritis With Biologics: How to Give Yourself an Injection

Biologics may be a life-changing treatment for some people with psoriatic arthritis. One hurdle to using these medicines is that they often come in the form of an injection. Learning how to give yourself an injection is an important first step in using biologics to treat psoriatic arthritis.

Today, you can give yourself an injection using an auto-injector pen. The needle is small and hidden. You don’t have to “push” the medicine in like you do with a syringe. Instead, you press a button, and the pen takes care of the rest. This makes the process much more comfortable, especially for people who may be nervous with needles.
