nd while you slowly push down the plunger until the syringe is empty (See Figure V).
When the syringe is empty, quickly pull the needle out of your skin. There may be a little bleeding at the injection site. Apply an adhesive bandage to the injection site if needed.
Step 7: Dispose of syringes and needles.
Do not re-use a syringe or needle.
To help avoid needle-stick injuries, do not recap a needle.
Put your needles and syringes in an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container right away after use. Do not throw away (dispose of) loose needles and syringes in your household trash.
If you do not have an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container, you may use a household container that is:
made of heavy-duty plastic
can be closed with a tight-fitting, puncture-resistant lid, without sharp items 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 local or state laws about how to throw away syringes and needles. 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 dispose of your sharps disposal container in your household trash unless your community guidelines permit this. Do not recycle your sharps disposal container.
Throw away the GATTEX vial into the container where you put the syringes and needles.
If you have any questions, talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
