So every night I get a rocephin injection. What's the trick to getting the bubble out of the syringe??? seriously...I'm having issues with this.

Hello,
I'm not sure what you're asking but, usually you can hold the needle upright, tap it so that the air bubble floats to the top then gently push on the plunger until you have expressed the air bubble out of the needle. That should do it. Good luck to you!

I've been trying that but it doesn't work [Frown]

Do you have any friends in the medical profession?? I have several nurse friends that elp me out with things like that.

If not, could your local PCP help you out maybe?
