When a self-injecting patient comes to the pharmacy to inquire about a safe way to dispose of their used syringes, the best advice to give the patient is: I. Contact their local health department to find out about disposal. II. Take the syringes from the patient as long as they are in some sort of bag or any container. III. Recommend the use of a mail-back sharps container system for the disposal of home generated sharps (available for sale at most Walgreens stores, walgreens.com). Select drug manufacturers for injectable medications also offer solutions.
