Ensure you dispose your used Zepbound KwikPen and used pen needles in a proper and safe way to protect yourself, others, and the environment.
How do I dispose the used pen needles and the Zepbound KwikPen?
Put your used pen needles in a sharps disposal container right away after use.
Do not throw away pen needles in your household trash.
Zepbound KwikPen contains 4 doses. Discard your KwikPen after using it once per week for 4 weeks (4 doses). Put all used KwikPens into a puncture-resistant (sharps) container once all the doses have been used. There may be some medicine still left in the KwikPen after the 4 weekly doses were given.
If you do not have a 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, follow your community guidelines for the right way to dispose of it. There may be local laws about how you should throw away used needles and syringes. Talk to your healthcare professional about how to dispose of your sharps container.
Do not recycle your used sharps disposal container.
