The company claims that Tjet uses a needle-free delivery system that releases the same amount of Tev-Tropin as a traditional syringe in two seconds.
Tjet works by releasing a thin stream of Tev-Tropinthat penetrates the stratum corneum (outermost layer skin) and is delivered into the subcutaneous (below the skin) tissue in two seconds, through a tiny opening in the skin less than one third the size of a 30-gauge needle. With flexible dosing in increments of 0.05mg, Tjet delivers the prescribed dose of Tev-Tropin with one click of a button.
The company said that Tjet can be used on the back of the upper arm, the upper outer thigh, stomach, or buttocks. It has an eco-friendly design that means less waste compared to needle-pen devices or traditional syringe administration.
Teva is likely to provide Tjet and replacement supplies free of charge with all prescriptions for Tev-Tropin, when requested by a physician.
