Is there any information available as to the size of the needle most suitable for the delivery of Nebido®?
The following needles were used for the clinical trials with Nebido®: 1.10 x 50 mm (19 G x 2″) (e.g. produced by Braun Melsungen). However, under practical clinical conditions, the use of a 22 G (0.9 mm) has been found to be most suitable for the injection of Nebido®. The small needles have two advantages: 1. the injection pain is further reduced; 2. the injection must be performed very slowly.
