Step 14:
Unscrew the capped Needle and throw it
away.
Do not store the Pen with the Needle
attached to prevent leaking, blocking of
the Needle, and air from entering the
Pen.
Step 15:
Replace the Pen Cap by lining up the Cap
Clip with the Dose Indicator and pushing
straight on.
After your injection:
Put your used needles and pens in a FDA-cleared sharps disposal container
right away after use. Do not throw away (dispose of) loose needles and pens
in your household trash.
If you do not have a FDA-cleared sharps disposal container, you may use a
household container that is:
- made of a heavy-duty plastic,
- can be closed with a tight-fitting, puncture-resistant lid, without sharps
being able to come out,
- upright and stable during use,
- leak-resistant, and
- properly labeled to warn of hazardous waste inside the container.
When your sharps disposal container is almost full, you will need to follow your
community guidelines for the right way to dispose of your sharps disposal
container. There may be state or local laws about how you should throw away
used needles and pens. For more information about safe sharps disposal, and
for specific information about sharps disposal in the state that you live in, go
