I figured most people will never get to see a Rebif needle (not that they would want to) but I went ahead and took some pictures of mine so people could see.  Some states on the needle are:
My apologies to those of you that have a browser that cannot handle PNG images because all of the images on this page (and on this site) are in that format.  I decided to go with PNG because of the current patent dispute with the JPEG format.  GIF was ruled out because of the poor quality with limiting the number of colors.  My recommendation (as always) is to get a real browser like Mozilla which is standards compliant, secure, and can handle these images.  All images on this page were edited with the GIMP.

I have higher resolution pictures but decided that was overkill and just went with the smaller version.  If for some reason you want high resolution versions drop me a note.

Most likely you came here from my Blog but if not you will probably find it very interesting.

This is just a picture of the box:

This is a picture of the inside of a new box with all 12 injections (4 week supply).  All syringes are individually packaged.  This is needle side up in this picture so you are looking at the top of the cap.

This is a picture of the syringe out of the box.  This is a used one as you see the plunger all the way at the end.  I wanted to get a picture of a new needle but those came out blurry.  I recapped it so other than no medication being in it anymore this is exactly what it looks like.

This is a picture of the syringe after having been given the injection so the plunger is all the way at the end.  The needle is .5 inches, as mentioned above, so isn't very long.
