Any pre-injection tips for Tymlos?

@babbsjoy I wanted to mention that alcohol swabs and a sharps container may be included in your prescription. My first rx I received Tymlos pen and needles. When I called for a refill for second pen they asked if I needed alcohol swabs/wipes and a sharps container. I said I didn’t know they were included. The rep told me someone is supposed to ask me each time I call for a refill. So far, she has been the only one to ask if I need them. I have employer insurance.

Thank you for the heads up! I did receive 30 days of alcohol wipes, and a sharps container. Sadly, only one needle 🤪. The pharmacist at the specialty pharmacy is trying to expedite the rest of the needles. He actually apologized profusely —which people just don’t seem to do anymore, and I appreciated it. I did ask if when I refill for the pen if the needle quantity will stay adjusted to the appropriate amount or if this would be a “thing” again. He said it will be an issue again and to emphasize with the person I speak to at refill that that needs to be changed—similar to what you are saying in terms of supplies….we will see! Thanks for checking in, I really appreciate it!
