Repatha^® must be used within 30 days if kept at room temperature (68°F to 77°F) in its original box.

If you forget to use Repatha^® or if you are not able to take your regularly scheduled dose, inject your next dose as soon as you remember, as long as it is within 7 days of the late dose. If it is more than 7 days from the missed dose and you are using the autoinjector every-2-week dose, inject the next dose based on your original schedule. This will put you back on your original schedule. If it is more than 7 days from the late dose and you are using the once-monthly dose, inject the dose and start a new schedule based on this date. If you are not sure when to take Repatha^® after a late dose, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist.¹

Put the used autoinjector/orange needle cap in an FDA-cleared sharps-disposal container right away after use. Do not throw away (dispose of) the autoinjector/orange cap in your household trash. If you do not have an 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.²

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 needles and syringes. 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 www.fda.gov/safesharpsdisposal.²

You can do either one as long as you create a firm surface. When pinching, make sure to pinch the skin firmly between your thumb and fingers, creating an area about two inches wide.

Your injection could take about 15 seconds. The inspection window will start to fill with the yellow plunger once a click is heard, indicating the injection sequence has commenced. The injection will be complete once the entire window is fully yellow. You may hear a second click. When you remove the autoinjector, if the window has not turned yellow, or if it looks like there is still medicine in the window and the plunger has stopped moving, this means you have not received a full dose. Call your healthcare provider immediately for further guidance.²

Waiting longer than 5 minutes can dry out the medicine and/or clog the needle.²

You can use your thigh; stomach (abdomen), except for a two-inch area around your navel (belly button); outer area of upper arm (outer arm only if someone else is giving you the injection). Do not inject into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard. Avoid injecting into areas with wrinkles, skin folds, scars, stretch marks, moles, or excessive hair. Avoid injecting directly into a raised, thick, red, or scaly skin patch or lesion. It is recommended that you choose a different site each time you give yourself an injection. If you want to use the same injection site, make sure it is not the same spot you used for the last injection.²

In order to inject correctly, firmly push the Autoinjector down against the skin. Then press the gray start button. You will hear a click. While still pushing the Autoinjector down on your skin, you can then lift your thumb off of the gray button. The injection could take about 15 seconds.

You should not be able to hit a vein. The injection is subcutaneous—which is very shallow, just under the skin.¹

You must wait for at least 30 minutes after removing the autoinjector from the refrigerator prior to injecting yourself to ensure all of the medication is administered and to minimize discomfort.

Reminder: Do not remove the needle shield/cap from the autoinjector until you are ready to inject.²
