Step 6:
Disposing of used syringes, needles, and vials
To prevent needle-stick injury and spread of infection, do not try to re-cap the needle.
Place used needles, syringes, and vials in a closeable, puncture-resistant container.
You may use a sharps
container (such as a red biohazard container), hard plastic container (such as a detergent bottle), or metal
container (such as an empty coffee can).
Do not use glass or clear plastic containers.
Ask your healthcare
provider for instructions on the right way to throw away (dispose of) the container.
There may be state and local
laws about how you should throw away used needles and syringes.
Do not throw used needles, syringes, or vials in your household trash or recycle.
Throw away any unused medicine.
Do not save any unused BETASERON for a future dose.
Keep the disposal container, needles, syringes, and vials of BETASERON out of the reach of children.
