  • Table of Contents
  • 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE

    AJOVY is indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults.

  • 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

    2.1 Recommended Dosage

    Two subcutaneous dosing options of AJOVY are available to administer the recommended dosage:

    • 225 mg monthly, or
    • 675 mg every 3 months (quarterly), which is administered as three consecutive subcutaneous injections of 225 mg each.

    When switching dosage options, administer the first dose of the new regimen on the next scheduled date of administration. If a dose of AJOVY is missed, administer as soon as possible. Thereafter, AJOVY can be scheduled from the date of the last dose.

    2.2 Important Administration Instructions

    AJOVY is for subcutaneous use only.

    AJOVY may be administered by healthcare professionals, patients, and/or caregivers. Prior to use, provide proper training to patients and/or caregivers on the preparation and administration of AJOVY prefilled syringe, including aseptic technique [see Instructions for Use]:

    • Remove AJOVY from the refrigerator. Prior to use, allow AJOVY to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes protected from direct sunlight. Do not warm by using a heat source such as hot water or a microwave. Do not use AJOVY if it has been at room temperature for 7 days or longer [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16.2)].
    • Follow aseptic injection technique every time AJOVY is administered.
    • Inspect AJOVY for particles or discoloration prior to administration [see Dosage Forms and Strengths (3)]. Do not use if the solution is cloudy, discolored, or contains particles.
    • Administer AJOVY by subcutaneous injection into areas of the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm that are not tender, bruised, red, or indurated. For multiple injections, you may use the same body site, but not the exact location of the previous injection.
    • Do not co-administer AJOVY with other injectable drugs at the same injection site.
  • 3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS

    AJOVY is a sterile, clear to opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow solution, available as follows:

    • Injection: 225 mg/1.5 mL single-dose prefilled autoinjector
    • Injection: 225 mg/1.5 mL single-dose prefilled syringe
  • 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS

    AJOVY is contraindicated in patients with serious hypersensitivity to fremanezumab-vfrm or to any of the excipients. Reactions have included anaphylaxis and angioedema [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    5.1  Hypersensitivity Reactions

    Hypersensitivity reactions, including rash, pruritus, drug hypersensitivity, and urticaria, were reported with AJOVY in clinical trials. Most reactions were mild to moderate, but some led to discontinuation or required corticosteroid treatment. Most reactions were reported from within hours to one month after administration. Cases of anaphylaxis and angioedema have been reported in the postmarketing setting.

    If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, consider discontinuing AJOVY, and institute appropriate therapy [see Contraindications (4)].

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling:

    • Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]

    6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

    Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug, and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.

    The safety of AJOVY was evaluated in 2512 patients with migraine who received at least 1 dose of AJOVY, representing 1279 patient-years of exposure. Of these, 1730 patients were exposed to AJOVY 225 mg monthly or AJOVY 675 mg quarterly for at least 6 months, 775 patients for at least 12 months, and 138 patients for at least 15 months. In placebo-controlled clinical trials (Studies 1 and 2), 662 patients received AJOVY 225 mg monthly for 12 weeks (with or without a loading dose of 675 mg), and 663 patients received AJOVY 675 mg quarterly for 12 weeks [see Clinical Studies (14)]. In the controlled trials, 87% of patients were female, 80% were White, and the mean age was 41 years.

    The most common adverse reactions in the clinical trials for the preventive treatment of migraine (incidence at least 5% and greater than placebo) were injection site reactions. The adverse reactions that most commonly led to discontinuations were injection site reactions (1%). Table 1 summarizes adverse reactions reported in the 3-month placebo-controlled studies (Study 1 and Study 2), and the 1-month follow-up period after those studies.

    Injection site reactionsa

     434538

    Injection site reactions include multiple related adverse event terms, such as injection site pain, induration, and erythema.

    6.2 Immunogenicity

    As with all therapeutic proteins, there is a potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors, including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to fremanezumab-vfrm in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies to other products may be misleading. Clinical immunogenicity of AJOVY was monitored by analyzing anti-drug antibodies (ADA) and neutralizing antibodies in drug-treated patients. The data reflect the percentage of patients whose test results were positive for antibodies to AJOVY in specific assays.

    In 3-month placebo-controlled studies, treatment-emergent ADA responses were observed in 6 out of 1701 (0.4%) AJOVY-treated patients. One of the 6 patients developed anti-AJOVY neutralizing antibodies at Day 84. In the ongoing long-term open-label study, ADA were detected in 1.6% of patients (30 out of 1888). Out of 30 ADA-positive patients, 17 had a neutralizing activity in their post-dose samples. Although these data do not demonstrate an impact of anti-fremanezumab-vfrm antibody development on the efficacy or safety of AJOVY in these patients, the available data are too limited to make definitive conclusions.

    6.3 Postmarketing Experience

    The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of AJOVY. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Pregnancy Exposure Registry

    There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to AJOVY during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register pregnant patients, or pregnant women may enroll themselves in the registry by calling 1-833-927-2605 or visiting www.tevamigrainepregnancyregistry.com. 

    Risk Summary

    There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of AJOVY in pregnant women. AJOVY has a long half-life [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. This should be taken into consideration for women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using AJOVY. Administration of fremanezumab-vfrm to rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis or to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation at doses resulting in plasma levels greater than those expected clinically did not result in adverse effects on development [see Animal Data]. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. The estimated rate of major birth defects (2.2-2.9%) and miscarriage (17%) among deliveries to women with migraine are similar to rates reported in women without migraine.

    Clinical Considerations

    Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk

    Published data have suggested that women with migraine may be at increased risk of preeclampsia and gestational hypertension during pregnancy.

    Data

    Animal Data

    When fremanezumab-vfrm (0, 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg) was administered to male and female rats by weekly subcutaneous injection prior to and during mating and continuing in females throughout organogenesis, no adverse embryofetal effects were observed. The highest dose tested was associated with plasma exposures (AUC) approximately 2 times that in humans at a dose of 675 mg.

    Administration of fremanezumab-vfrm (0, 10, 50, or 100 mg/kg) weekly by subcutaneous injection to pregnant rabbits throughout the period of organogenesis produced no adverse effects on embryofetal development. The highest dose tested was associated with plasma AUC approximately 3 times that in humans (675 mg).

    Administration of fremanezumab-vfrm (0, 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg) weekly by subcutaneous injection to female rats throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in no adverse effects on pre- and postnatal development. The highest dose tested was associated with plasma AUC approximately 2 times that in humans (675 mg).

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    There are no data on the presence of fremanezumab-vfrm in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for AJOVY and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from AJOVY or from the underlying maternal condition.

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    Clinical studies of AJOVY did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.

  • 11 DESCRIPTION

    Fremanezumab-vfrm is a fully humanized IgG2Δa/kappa monoclonal antibody specific for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) ligand. Fremanezumab-vfrm is produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The antibody consists of 1324 amino acids and has a molecular weight of approximately 148 kDa.

    AJOVY (fremanezumab-vfrm) injection is a sterile, preservative-free, clear to opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow solution for subcutaneous injection, supplied in a single-dose 225 mg/1.5 mL prefilled autoinjector and a single-dose 225 mg/1.5 mL prefilled syringe.

    Each prefilled autoinjector or prefilled syringe delivers 1.5 mL of solution containing 225 mg fremanezumab-vfrm, disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dihydrate (EDTA) (0.204 mg), L-histidine (0.815 mg), L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (3.93 mg), polysorbate-80 (0.3 mg), sucrose (99 mg), and Water for Injection, and has a pH of 5.5.

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    Fremanezumab-vfrm is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) ligand and blocks its binding to the receptor.

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    The relationship between the pharmacodynamic activity and the mechanism(s) by which fremanezumab-vfrm exerts its clinical effects is unknown.

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    Absorption

    After single subcutaneous (SC) administrations of 225 mg, 675 mg, and 900 mg fremanezumab-vfrm, median time to maximum concentrations (tmax) was 5 to 7 days. Dose-proportionality, based on population PK, was observed between 225 mg to 900 mg. Steady state was achieved by approximately 168 days (about 6 months) following 225 mg SC monthly and 675 mg SC quarterly dosing regimens. Median accumulation ratio, based on once-monthly and once-quarterly dosing regimens, is approximately 2.3 and 1.2, respectively.

    Distribution

    Fremanezumab-vfrm has an apparent volume of distribution of approximately 6 liters, suggesting minimal distribution to the extravascular tissues.

    Metabolism

    Similar to other monoclonal antibodies, fremanezumab-vfrm is degraded by enzymatic proteolysis into small peptides and amino acids.

    Elimination

    Fremanezumab-vfrm apparent clearance was approximately 0.141 L/day. Fremanezumab-vfrm was estimated to have a half-life of approximately 31 days.

    Specific Populations

    A population PK analysis assessing effects of age, race, sex, and weight was conducted on data from 2287 subjects. No dose adjustments are recommended for AJOVY.

    Patients with Hepatic or Renal Impairment

    Hepatic/renal impairment is not expected to affect the pharmacokinetics of fremanezumab. A population PK analysis of integrated data from the AJOVY clinical studies did not reveal a difference in the pharmacokinetics of fremanezumab in patients with mild hepatic impairment, relative to those with normal hepatic function. There were only 4 patients with moderate hepatic impairment, and no patient with severe hepatic impairment in fremanezumab clinical studies. No dedicated hepatic/renal impairment studies were conducted to assess the effect of hepatic or renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of fremanezumab.

    Drug Interactions

    Fremanezumab is not metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes; therefore, interactions with concomitant medications that are substrates, inducers, or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 enzymes are unlikely. Additionally, the effects of medications for the acute treatment (specifically analgesics, ergots, and triptans) and preventive treatment of migraine were evaluated in a population PK model, and found not to influence fremanezumab exposure.

  • 13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    Carcinogenesis

    Carcinogenicity studies of fremanezumab-vfrm were not conducted.

    Mutagenesis

    Genetic toxicology studies of fremanezumab-vfrm were not conducted.

    Impairment of Fertility

    When fremanezumab-vfrm (0, 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg) was administered to male and female rats by weekly subcutaneous injection prior to and during mating and continuing in females throughout organogenesis, no adverse effects on male or female fertility were observed. The highest dose tested was associated with plasma exposures (AUC) approximately 2 times that in humans at a dose of 675 mg.

  • 14 CLINICAL STUDIES

    The efficacy of AJOVY was evaluated as a preventive treatment of episodic or chronic migraine in two multicenter, randomized, 3-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies (Study 1 and Study 2, respectively).

    Episodic Migraine

    Study 1 (NCT 02629861) included adults with a history of episodic migraine (patients with <15 headache days per month). All patients were randomized (1:1:1) to receive subcutaneous injections of either AJOVY 675 mg every three months (quarterly), AJOVY 225 mg monthly, or placebo monthly, over a 3-month treatment period. Patients were allowed to use acute headache treatments during the study. A subset of patients (21%) was allowed to use one additional concomitant preventive medication.

    The study excluded patients with a history of significant cardiovascular disease, vascular ischemia, or thrombotic events, such as cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attacks, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism.

    The primary efficacy endpoint was the mean change from baseline in the monthly average number of migraine days during the 3-month treatment period. Secondary endpoints included the proportion of patients reaching at least a 50% reduction in monthly average number of migraine days during the 3-month treatment period, the mean change from baseline in the monthly average number of days of use of any acute headache medication during the 3-month treatment period, and the mean change from baseline in the number of migraine days during the first month of the treatment period.

    In Study 1, a total of 875 patients (742 females, 133 males), ranging in age from 18 to 70 years, were randomized. A total of 791 patients completed the 3-month double-blind phase. The mean migraine frequency at baseline was approximately 9 migraine days per month, and was similar across treatment groups.

    Both monthly and quarterly dosing regimens of AJOVY demonstrated statistically significant improvements for efficacy endpoints compared to placebo over the 3-month period, as summarized in Table 2.

    Chronic Migraine

    Study 2 (NCT 02621931) included adults with a history of chronic migraine (patients with ≥15 headache days per month). All patients were randomized (1:1:1) to receive subcutaneous injections of either AJOVY 675 mg starting dose followed by 225 mg monthly, 675 mg every 3 months (quarterly), or placebo monthly, over a 3-month treatment period. Patients were allowed to use acute headache treatments during the study. A subset of patients (21%) was allowed to use one additional concomitant, preventive medication.

    The study excluded patients with a history of significant cardiovascular disease, vascular ischemia, or thrombotic events, such as cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attacks, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism.

    The primary efficacy endpoint was the mean change from baseline in the monthly average number of headache days of at least moderate severity during the 3-month treatment period. The secondary endpoints were the mean change from baseline in the monthly average number of migraine days during the 3-month treatment period, the proportion of patients reaching at least 50% reduction in the monthly average number of headache days of at least moderate severity during the 3-month treatment period, the mean change from baseline in the monthly average number of days of use of any acute headache medication during the 3-month treatment period, and the mean change from baseline in the number of headache days of at least moderate severity during the first month of treatment.

    In Study 2, a total of 1130 patients (991 females, 139 males), ranging in age from 18 to 70 years, were randomized. A total of 1034 patients completed the 3-month double-blind phase.

    Both monthly and quarterly dosing regimens of AJOVY treatment demonstrated statistically significant improvement for key efficacy outcomes compared to placebo, as summarized in Table 3.

    • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if AJOVY passes into your breast milk. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby while using AJOVY.

    Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

    Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of your medicines with you to show your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

     How should I use AJOVY?

    • See the detailed “Instructions for Use” for information on how to prepare and inject a dose of AJOVY.
    • Use AJOVY exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to use it.
    • AJOVY is given by injection under your skin (subcutaneously).
    • Your healthcare provider should show you or your caregiver how to prepare and inject your dose of AJOVY before you or your caregiver give your AJOVY the first time.
    • Your healthcare provider will tell you how much AJOVY to use and when to use it.
      • Your healthcare provider will tell you if you should use AJOVY 225 mg one time every month or AJOVY 675 mg one time every 3 months.
      • If your prescribed dose is AJOVY 675 mg every 3 months, you must use 3 separate autoinjectors or 3 separate syringes. You will give 3 separate injections one time every 3 months.
    • If you are giving 3 injections of AJOVY for your prescribed dose, you may use the same injection area for all 3 injections, but not the same spot.
    • Do not inject AJOVY in the same injection site that you inject other medicine.
    • If you are switching from using AJOVY one time every month to one time every 3 months or if you are switching from using AJOVY one time every 3 months to one time every month, give the first dose of AJOVY on the day it was due to be given on your old schedule.
    • If you miss a dose of AJOVY, take it as soon as possible. If you need to take the dose late, you will need to change your schedule: if you take 225 mg of AJOVY, inject your next dose 1 month after the late dose. If you take 675 mg of AJOVY, inject your next dose 3 months after the late dose. If you have questions about your schedule, ask your healthcare provider.

    What are the possible side effects of AJOVY?

    AJOVY may cause serious side effects, including:

    • Allergic reactions. Allergic reactions, including itching, rash, and hives, can happen within hours and up to 1 month after receiving AJOVY. Call your healthcare provider or get emergency medical help right away if you have any of the following symptoms of an allergic reaction:
      • swelling of your face, mouth, tongue, or throat
      • trouble breathing

    The most common side effects of AJOVY include:

    Figure B

    • The blue plunger moves down the viewing window during the injection. The blue plunger fills the window when the injection is complete. Note: When the blue plunger has filled the viewing window you will still be able to see the gray stopper, as shown in Figure B.
    • When injecting AJOVY, hold the prefilled autoinjector so that your hand does not cover the viewing window.

    image     Read this before you inject.

    Step 1. Check the dose your healthcare provider has prescribed.

    AJOVY comes as a single-dose (one time) prefilled autoinjector. Your healthcare provider will prescribe the dose that is best for you.

    • If your healthcare provider has prescribed 225 mg of AJOVY each month for you, give 1 injection each month, using a 225 mg prefilled AJOVY autoinjector.
    • If your healthcare provider has prescribed 675 mg of AJOVY every 3 months for you, give 3 separate injections, one after another, using a different 225 mg prefilled AJOVY autoinjector for each injection. Give these injections 1 time every 3 months.

    Before you inject, always check the label of your single-dose prefilled autoinjector to make sure you have the correct medicine and the correct dose of AJOVY. If you are not sure of your dose, ask your healthcare provider.

    How do I inject AJOVY?

    Step 2. Remove the prefilled autoinjector from the carton.

    • You may need to use more than 1 prefilled autoinjector depending on your prescribed dose.
    • Remove the autoinjector from the carton (see Figure C).
    • Do not shake the prefilled autoinjector at any time, as this could affect the way the medicine works.

     Important: If there are any unused autoinjectors left in the carton, put the carton and unused autoinjectors back in the refrigerator.

    image

    Figure C

    Step 3. Gather the supplies you will need to inject AJOVY.

    • Gather the following supplies (see Figure D) and the number of AJOVY 225 mg prefilled autoinjectors you will need to give your prescribed dose:

    - If your dose is 225 mg, you will need 1 AJOVY 225 mg prefilled autoinjector.

    - If your dose is 675 mg, you will need 3 AJOVY 225 mg prefilled autoinjectors.

    - Alcohol swabs (not supplied).

    - Gauze pads or cotton balls (not supplied).

    - Sharps disposal or puncture-resistant container (not supplied).

     image

    Figure D

    Step 4. Let AJOVY reach room temperature.

    • Place the supplies you have gathered on a clean, flat surface.
    • Wait for 30 minutes to allow the medicine to reach room temperature.
    • Do not leave the prefilled autoinjector in direct sunlight.
    • Do not warm up the AJOVY prefilled autoinjector using a heat source such as hot water or a microwave.

    image

    Step 5. Wash your hands.

    • Wash your hands with soap and water and dry well with a clean towel. Be careful not to touch your face or hair after washing your hands.

    Step 6. Look closely at your AJOVY prefilled autoinjector.

    Note: You may see air bubbles in the prefilled autoinjector. This is normal. Do not remove the air bubbles from the prefilled autoinjector before giving your injection.

    Injecting AJOVY with these air bubbles will not harm you.

    • Check that the liquid medicine in the prefilled autoinjector viewing window is clear and colorless to slightly yellow before you give your injection. (See Figure E). If the liquid has any particles in it, or is discolored, cloudy, or frozen, do not use the prefilled autoinjector. Call your healthcare provider or pharmacist. 
    • Do not use the prefilled autoinjector if it has any visible damage, such as cracks or leaks. See disposal instructions in Step 12.
    • Check that AJOVY appears on the prefilled autoinjector. 
    • Do not use if you have been given the wrong medicine.
    • Check the expiration date (EXP) printed on the prefilled autoinjector label. 
    • Do not use the prefilled autoinjector if the expiration date (EXP) has passed. 
    image

    Figure E

    Step 7: Choose your injection area.

    • Choose an injection area from the following areas (see Figure F):
      • your stomach area (abdomen), avoid about 2 inches around the belly button.
      • the front of your thighs, an area that is at least 2 inches above the knee and 2 inches below the groin.
      • the back of your upper arms, in the fleshy area of the upper back portion.

    image

    Figure F

     Note: There are some injection areas on your body that are hard to reach (like the back of your arm). You may need help from someone who has been instructed on how to give your injection if you cannot reach certain injection areas.

    Step 8. Clean your injection area.

    • Clean the chosen injection area using a new alcohol swab. Let your skin dry.
    • Do not inject AJOVY into an area that is tender, red, bruised, callused, tattooed, hard, or that has scars or stretch marks.
    • Do not inject AJOVY in the same injection site that you inject other medicine.
    • If you want to use the same injection area for the 3 separate injections needed for the 675 mg dose, make sure the second and third injections are not at the same spot you used for the other injections.

    Step 9. Remove protective cap and do not replace.

    • Pick up the prefilled autoinjector in 1 hand.
    • Hold the prefilled autoinjector as shown in Figure G and pull the protective cap straight off with your other hand. Do not twist.
    • Throw away the protective cap right away.
    • Do not put the protective cap back on the prefilled autoinjector, to avoid injury and infection.

    image

    Figure G

    Step 10. Give your injection.

    • 10.1 Place the prefilled autoinjector at a 90 degree angle against your skin at the injection site you have cleaned (see Figure H).

    image

    Figure H

    10.2 Press down on the prefilled autoinjector and keep holding it down against the skin for about 30 seconds.

    Do not remove pressure until the 3 steps below are complete.
    1. You hear
    the first “click”

    (this means the injection has started and the blue plunger starts to move).  
    2. You hear
    a second “click”
    (about 15 seconds after the first click. The plunger will be moving to the bottom of the viewing window as the medicine is being injected.) 
    3. You wait
    another 10 seconds.
    (to make sure all the medicine is injected). 
     image

    10.3 Check that the blue plunger has filled the viewing window and remove the autoinjector from the skin by lifting the prefilled autoinjector straight up (see Figure I).

    Note: When the blue plunger has filled the viewing window you will be able to see the gray stopper.

    As the prefilled autoinjector is lifted from the skin, the needle shield returns to the original (before use) position and locks into place, covering the needle.

    Do not try to put the protective cap back on the used prefilled autoinjector as it is no longer needed.

    Do not try to re-use the prefilled autoinjector.

    image

    Figure I

     Step 11. Apply pressure to the injection site.

    • Use a clean, dry cotton ball, or gauze pad to gently press on the injection site for a few seconds.
    • Do not rub the injection site.
    • Do not re-use the prefilled autoinjector.

    Step 12. Dispose of your prefilled autoinjector right away.

    image

    • Put your used prefilled autoinjectors in a FDA-cleared sharps disposal container right away after use.
    • Do not throw away (dispose of) prefilled autoinjectors in your household trash. Do not recycle your used sharps disposal container.
    • If you do not have a FDA-cleared sharps disposal container, you may use a household container that is:
      • made of a heavy-duty plastic,
      • can be closed with a tight-fitting, puncture-resistant lid, without sharps 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 state or local laws about how you should throw away used autoinjectors. 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 used sharps disposal container in your household trash unless your community guidelines permit this. Do not recycle your used sharps disposal container.
