How do I dispose of an adrenaline injector?

Used and unused (and expired) adrenaline injectors must always be handled with care and should never be thrown in the regular or recycling bin.

They contain a needle that can be dangerous if not handled correctly and should always be placed in a sharps disposal container. Speak with your pharmacist or doctor about disposal of your adrenaline injector. 

Used adrenaline injectors can be given to ambulance paramedics who treat your anaphylaxis.

Unused (and expired) adrenaline injectors can be taken to pharmacies who can dispose of them using the Return Unwanted Medicine (RUM) campaign.
