Results

Provides fast and effective pain relief for migraine attacks

In a clinical trial, patients taking ZEMBRACE SYMTOUCH were:

2-hour

Free from migraine pain 2 hours after dosing*

Almost half of patients were pain‑free 2 hours after dosing (46% vs 27% with placebo).

In a clinical study using a different sumatriptan injector with equivalent doses, patients experienced:

2-hour

Migraine relief 2 hours after dosing

60% of patients reported migraine relief 2 hours after dosing (vs 21% with placebo).
10-minute

Fast relief in as little as 10 minutes

17% of patients reported migraine relief at 10 minutes (vs 5% with placebo).

*Pain freedom meant patients said their migraine pain went from moderate or severe to no pain at all 2 hours after taking their first dose.

Relief meant patients’ pain improved from moderate or severe to mild or no pain after taking their medication—without needing any additional (rescue) medicine.

Step 1

Inspect and gather supplies

  • Remove ZEMBRACE SYMTOUCH auto-injector from the carton. Check the expiration date on the device. Inspect the medicine through the viewing window to ensure the solution is clear. Its coloring may range from colorless to pale yellow. Do not inject the medicine if the solution looks discolored or cloudy or contains lumps, flakes, or particles.
  • In addition to the auto-injector, gather an alcohol swab, sterile cotton ball or gauze, and an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container.

Step 2

Choose and prepare injection site

  • The recommended injection sites are the sides of the thighs and the arms. Do not inject where your skin is scarred, bruised, tender, or red, or near any open wound.
  • Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab. Don’t touch the area after cleaning.
  • Hold the body of the auto-injector in one hand and pull the red cap straight off. Do NOT touch the yellow needle guard.

Step 3

Inject the medicine

  • Place the auto-injector straight onto your injection site at 90 degrees with the yellow needle guard facing down, gently pressed against your skin.
  • Press and hold the auto-injector down against your skin. You will hear the first “Click 1” as the injection starts. Continue to hold the device down until you hear the second “Click 2.”
  • After “Click 2,” continue to hold down and slowly count to 5 before you remove the auto-injector.
  • Once done, remove the auto-injector by lifting it straight away from your skin. The Yellow Needle Guard will drop down and lock over the needle.

Step 4

Confirm injection and dispose

  • Confirm that the red plunger rod has filled the medicine viewing window. If it hasn’t, call your healthcare provider. Do NOT try to reuse the auto-injector.
  • Put your used auto-injector, caps, needles, and sharps in an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container only.
  • Treat the injection site with a cotton ball, gauze pad, or bandage as needed. Do not rub the injection site.
