Needles used for the injection of Ozempic and Wegovy can not be simply tossed into your trash can. Local regulations vary for needle disposal, but you may be able to use common household items.
The needles cannot simply be tossed into the trash or recycle bin or flushed down the toilet. Ashlyn Messier is a writer for Fox News Digital.
The general rule of thumb is to dispose of needles in a "heavy-duty plastic household container," according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s website.
