To assist patients with managing and disposing of used sharps, many pharmaceutical companies offer mail-back programs, which are often free of charge. Other companies provide FDA-cleared containers to patients who use medications that require sharps.
Below is a list of mail-back and container programs you may be eligible for, as well as contact info for patients to enroll in a program.
Please note that the patient must be actively taking the injectable medication and use the sharps container provided by the company to be eligible for each mail-back program.
