AIMOVIG is a clear to opalescent, colorless to light yellow solution. Do not use if the solution is cloudy or discolored or contains flakes or particles. - Administer AIMOVIG subcutaneously in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. If you want to use the same injection site, make sure it is not the same spot you used for a previous injection. Do not inject into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard. - Both the prefilled syringe and the prefilled SureClick® autoinjector/pen are for single use and designed to deliver the entire contents with no residual content. - The needle shield within the white or orange cap of the prefilled autoinjector and the gray needle cap of the prefilled syringe contain dry natural rubber (a derivative of latex), which may cause allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to latex.
