right An<unk>  (also called a medication<unk>  is a device used for injecting medication under the skin. First introduced in the 1980s,<unk> s are designed to make injectable medication easier and more convenient to use, thus increasing patient adherence. The primary difference between<unk> s and traditional vial and syringe administration is the easier use of an<unk>  by people with low dexterity, poor vision, or who need portability to administer medicine on time.<unk> s also decrease the fear or adversity towards self-injection of medications, which increases the likelihood that a person takes the medication.<unk> s are commonly used for medications that are injected repeatedly by a person over a relatively short period of time, especially insulin and insulin analogs used in the treatment of diabetes (called insulin<unk> s). Many other medications are also available as<unk> s, including other injectable medicines for diabetes, high cholesterol, migraine prevention, and other monoclonal antibodies. Studies have shown<unk> s to be at least as effective as vial and syringe administration, and surveys have shown that a vast majority of people would prefer an<unk>  over vial and syringe administration if one was available. After a slow uptake in the United States,<unk> s have surpassed vial and syringe administration of insulin in type 2 diabetes.
