Travel w/Kevzara

[79andCounting]

Question for those using Kevzara: We’re going to be going on a couple of trips and I’m wondering how to deal with my used syringes. What they send me are not the pen type of injection, but a syringe that has ‘finger grips’ that are 1.5 inch wide. They don’t fit in all sharps disposal containers because the containers all seem to be designed for the pens. The quart size has the right size opening, but I can’t find a travel size that won’t take up a lot of space in luggage. Any suggestions?

You should be able to go to a pharmacy and ask them to dispose of them. I have saved my Actemra syringes in the container I used for the syringes to keep in the fridge and will worry about them when i get home.

I take Actemra, like PMRpro...when I travel I use this from Amazon...if keeps them cold and I store my empties in it until I'm home. I like the idea of the refrigeration and it is small.💞

Thanks, I just ordered one, my ‘winged’ injection should fit fine in that!

Great, so glad!! It is the greatest 'little' thing!!! Enjoy your travels and keep going !!💞

I pop the orange wing off the syringe after injecting they pop off very easy then they fit right in

I’ll be darned! I had fiddled with one and didn’t think they came off, but I must have been pushing from the wrong side, tried it again with more patience and it came off! 👍
