Disposing of Your Used Pens
• Put your used Pens in a FDA-cleared sharps disposal container
right away after use. Do not throw away (dispose of) 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 syringes. For more information about safe sharps disposal,
and for specific information about sharps disposal in the state
that you live in, go to the FDA’s website at:
http://www.fda.gov/safesharpsdisposal.
• Do not recycle your used sharps disposal container.

Do I need to hold the Injection Button down until the injection is complete?
This is not necessary, but it may help you keep the Pen steady and firm against your skin.
I heard more than 2 clicks during my injection—2 louder clicks and 1 soft one. Did I get my complete injection?
Some patients may hear a soft click right before the second loud click. That is the normal operation of the Pen. Do not
remove the Pen from your skin until you hear the second louder click.
What if there is a drop of liquid or blood on my skin after my injection?
This is normal.
I am not sure if my Pen worked the right way.
