An injection device (110) comprises a housing (112) defining a first axis(101). A drive (120) acts upon a syringe when released by a trigger (114). Thetrigger is rotatable from a rest position in which the drive is retained to anactive position in which it no longer causes the drive to be so retained. Thetrigger is pivotally mounted and has a surface (201) shaped such that a usercan apply a force in a direction substantially parallel to the first axis torotate the trigger from its rest position to its active position. Such aninjection device provides improved handling and ease of operation.
