Abstract: Some embodiments of a low profile intramuscular auto-injector optionally comprise a contact surface contoured to fit a body surface. Optionally a height of the injector is less than ΒΌ a perimeter of the contact surface. Optionally a cover protects said contact surface. Optionally the device includes a priming mechanism coupled to the cover wherein removal of the cover activates the priming mechanism for priming the injector and/or increasing a height of the injector. Optionally the injector includes a cylindrical pharmaceutical reservoir rigidly attached to an injection needle. Optionally in a compact storage state the injection needle is at a low angle to the contact surface. Optionally during priming the needle and/or reservoir rotate to orient the needle at a higher angle to the contact surface.
