Safe Disposal

It's important to immediately dispose of your needles and syringes in a sharps disposal container. You should also dispose of pens or vials that are empty or lack a usable quantity through a drug-collection program or by placing them in an appropriate container according to local laws.

You can order a free sharps or medicine container from Novo Nordisk and we’ll take care of safely disposing the container for you.
