<p>The present invention relates to a medicament injection apparatus (2) that permits injection of a fluid medicament into a patient through a needle (12). If the needle (12) is withdrawn before the injected medicament has properly dispersed locally from the injection site within a patient, the injected medicament may escape through the needle wound and not be dispersed into the patient. Unfortunately, it is common for a user to become impatient and withdraw the needle (12) when the user feels a suitable dispersal period has elapsed. Often the waiting period determined by the user is less than the required period for dispersal of the medicament resulting in the problem identified. A medicament injection apparatus (2) is disclosed comprising a timer and a display (13), the timer being actuated upon commencement of an injection operation, in which the timer runs to a predetermined time subsequent to completion of the injection operation and the display (13) is operated while the timer runs.</p> |
