A drug delivery device having a base member defining a skin-contacting surface, a syringe serving as a reservoir for the drug, and means for expelling drug from the syringe. The syringe is connected to the base member such that the longitudinal axis of the syringe is substantially parallel to the skin surface. A delivery needle is in communication with the syringe. The needle has an angled bend which directs the tip of the needle substantially perpendicular to the skin-contacting surface. In use, the tip of the needle is adapted to penetrate the skin of the subject.

1. A drug delivery device comprising:a housing having an internal drug reservoir; a drug delivery needle extending from the housing for penetration of the skin of a subject, the needle having an outlet for drug delivery; a base member defining a skin-contacting surface for application to the skin of a subject, said base member being in pivotable relation to the housing between a first position in which the needle is concealed from the exterior of the device and a second position in which the delivery needle protrudes from the device for penetration of the skin, the device further comprising means for locking the device in the first position after a single reciprocation of the device from the first position to the second position and back to the first position.
