How about disposal of the syringe...you are NOT supposed to just throw it in the regular garbage. Hope your wife is OK.
Stelara Official FDA information, side effects and uses. |
It's not a drug to be taken lightly. When I called the insurance company about a replacement they were 'disgusted', their word, that she was given no instruction at all. It is in my lawyer's hands now.
