Would you like a reminder when it’s time to inject Repatha® or refill your prescription?
Needle-disposal containers can be mailed to your door, so you can recycle your used needles safely, conveniently, and at no cost to you.
Yes. Make sure your Repatha® is in its original box and clearly labeled. Learn more about how to store Repatha®.
Check your transportation provider’s policy for needles. If flying, bring a copy of your prescription or a doctor’s note to show airport security.
Repatha® must be used within 30 days if kept at room temperature (68°F to 77°F) in its original box.
Put the used autoinjector/orange needle cap OR the Pushtronex® in an FDA-cleared sharps-disposal container right away after use. Do not throw away (dispose of) the autoinjector/orange cap OR the Pushtronex® 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
It’s best to store Repatha® in the refrigerator (36°F to 46°F), but Repatha® can be stored at room temperature (up to 77°F) for up to 30 days in its original box.
In the event of a temporary room temperature exposure (up to 77°F), Repatha® may be returned to the refrigerator (36°F to 46°F) for the duration of its shelf life.
If you left Repatha® out at room temperature for more than 30 days, discard Repatha®. If you think the room temperature went above 77°F, call 1-844-REPATHA (1-844-737-2842) to learn more.
