Betaferon injection

femur61 · 2012-09-22 11:57:35

I was wondering does anyone know why the needle is so long for betaferon if it only supposed to be sub cutaneous. I am thin and the needles seem very long, I was showing them to be sister in law who is a GP and her son has to take sub cutaneous injections as well and he has a pen injector.
