I did an experiment with this (on 3xweekly roferonA) & took the air out of one, injected & was amazed at how much was still left in the syringe. My nurse said to inject it with the air even though pamphlet says to expel it first. I guess you'd want to make sure you weren't injecting it into a blood vessel.

Hi Raff, It is not a problem, as it is subcutaneous. I never do that and have been injecting for 3 years! Hope the leg cramps have subsided. Susana x
