Abstract
A drug delivery device and a method of using the drug delivery device may include a housing having an opening and a drug storage container including a delivery member. The drug storage container may be coupled with the housing such as to substantially prevent relative movement between the drug storage container and the housing. A guard may be positioned adjacent to the opening and operably coupled with a plunger biasing member such that a relative movement between the guard and the housing permits release of the plunger biasing member to urge a plunger in to expel a drug from the drug storage container. A lock component may be configured to resist the relative movement between the guard and the housing until the lock component is released by a user force, whereafter the user force drives the housing and the drug storage container toward an injection site.
