A 2023 injection-technique study comparing autoinjector adherence to manual pen adherence found that autoinjector users had 23% fewer injection-site errors (wrong angle, incomplete dose delivery, premature needle withdrawal) but 18% higher rates of injection-site bruising due to the spring-loaded insertion force (Bolge et al., Patient Preference and Adherence , 2023)
In contrast, coated and dissolving microneedles, which actively deliver therapeutic agents, undergo a more rigorous evaluation than new drug approvals [113]
The process was pro-inflammatory as it also promoted NLRP3 activation with subsequent production of mature IL-1 and IL-18, as well as GM-CSF, although IL-6 and TNF were unaffected
