Important information regarding the proper use of Novo Nordisk needles
- Refer to your medicine’s website or the instructions that were packaged with your medicine to see full Instructions for Use.
- Always use a new needle for each injection to help ensure sterility and prevent blocked needles. Do not reuse or share needles with another person. You may give other people a serious infection or get a serious infection from them.
- Never use a bent or damaged needle.
Steps for using your needles
STEP 1
Select a new needle. Pull off the paper tab from the outer needle cap (See Figure A)
STEP 2
Push the capped needle straight onto the pen and twist the needle on until it is tight (See Figure B)
STEP 3
Pull off the outer needle cap. Do not throw it away (See Figure C)
STEP 4
Pull off the inner needle cap and throw it away (See Figure D)
How and when to inject
The needle is covered by 2 caps that must be removed. If you forget to remove both caps, you will not inject any medicine.
Always be sure to consult with your health care provider for recommendations on injection sites. Talk to your health care provider about the injection sites and rotation routine and if you should pinch your skin when injecting.
For certain medications, including some insulins, needles are sold separately and may require a prescription in some states.
Do not reuse or share your needles with other people
Always use a new needle for each injection. Reusing needles may cause damage to the needle, infection, or blocked needles. Always remove and safely discard the needle after each injection.
Do not reuse or share your needles with other people. You may give other people a serious infection, or get a serious infection from them.
Disposing of needles responsibly
Used needles should never be thrown away with ordinary trash. Doing so could lead to accidental needlesticks. Instead, dispose of them in a special “sharps” container, or a puncture-proof, clearly marked container, like an empty detergent bottle. Dispose of them in accordance with your local health regulations.
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, or visit our {safe-disposal-link}, where you can learn more about proper disposal and order a free sharps or medicine return container.
