Abstract: A method is provided for the acute treatment of migraine headaches with or without aura by injecting dihydroergotamine mesylate into a subject. The method includes storing the dihydroergotamine mesylate in an autoinjector at room temperature in a foil pouch. The method further includes removing the autoinjector from the pouch; removing a cap of the autoinjector; pushing the autoinjector down against an injection site of the subject to depress a safety guard; pressing and releasing an activation button on the autoinjector to start injection; and holding the autoinjector against the injection site for at least 10 seconds irrespective of whether a click is generated. The method further includes confirming that the injection is complete by viewing a change of color in a viewing window of the autoinjector, and lifting the autoinjector up away from the injection site and allowing the guard to drop down and lock over a needle.

Abstract: A method of providing and/or injecting octreotide acetate to a subject in need thereof includes storing the octreotide acetate in a cartridge of a multi-use multi-dose injector provided with a variable dose setter and actuator. The injector includes a needle configured for subcutaneous administration of the octreotide acetate, the octreotide acetate having a concentration of 2,500 ?g/mL. The method further includes permitting setting of a dose of the octreotide acetate by rotation of the variable dose setter. The injector is configured to provide at least one audible feedback during the rotation. The method further includes operating the actuator to deliver the octreotide acetate from the cartridge through the needle to treat the subject. The injector is provided with multiple surface portions.

The injector includes a needle configured for subcutaneous administration of the octreotide acetate, the octreotide acetate having a concentration of 2,500 ?g/mL. The method further includes providing, on the injector, a plurality of indicia only at prescribed doses of 50 ?g, 100 ?g, 150 ?g and 200 ?g settable via the dose setter without indicia between said prescribed doses; and permitting setting of a dose of the octreotide acetate by rotation of the variable dose setter, wherein the injector is configured to provide at least one audible feedback during the rotation.
