Veterinary medicine today looks very different than it did even a decade ago. Clinics are seeing higher patient volumes, more complex diagnostics, and a growing reliance on injectable treatments for both chronic and acute care. With that shift comes an increase in medical waste, such as sharps, that must be handled safely, compliantly, and consistently. Still, veterinary waste disposal is often treated as a background ...
As home injections become more common across diabetes care, GLP-1 therapies, fertility treatments, hormone therapy, and specialty medications, a quieter but increasingly serious issue is emerging alongside this growth: counterfeit injection devices. While counterfeit medications have received widespread attention, counterfeit injection devices (including pens, syringes, needles, and auto-injectors) often fly under the radar. ...
When an injectable device malfunctions, the moment doesn’t end with a patient reporting a complaint. In fact, that’s where a much larger process starts to begin. Behind every reported misfire, incomplete dose, or device failure is a complex workflow involving patient safety, regulatory compliance, product investigation, and secure disposal. These processes are often invisible to patients, yet they play a critical role in ...
Injectable medications have reshaped how patients manage chronic conditions. From GLP-1 medications to insulin, modern auto-injectors have made treatment more accessible in the home.

How manufacturers handle these moments can ...
Every year brings a wave of new ideas and innovations in diabetes care, but occasionally, an update comes along that genuinely shifts the landscape.

Each December, International Sharps Injury Prevention Awareness Month brings global attention to the ongoing risk of needlestick injuries and improper sharps handling. Though traditionally associated with hospitals and clinical settings, sharps injuries increasingly occur in homes, community programs, workplaces, and pharmacies. As more therapies move outside the walls of healthcare facilities, the conversation around ...
Managing diabetes is a daily commitment, and having a thoughtful, well-organized diabetes management plan can make the process far smoother. From medication and monitoring to travel routines and disposal habits, every detail plays a role in keeping your care consistent from day to day. For anyone using insulin or other injectable treatments, it's especially important to think beyond the injection itself and consider how to ...
November marks Diabetes Awareness Month, when we recognize the millions of people living with diabetes and the care routines they follow each day. From medication schedules to blood sugar checks, maintaining control takes planning and consistency. When you add travel to the mix, those routines can suddenly become extra complicated. Especially when it comes to storing, using, and safely disposing of sharps and other Whether ...

Independent pharmacies across the U.S. are redefining what local healthcare looks like. They are no longer just about filling prescriptions. They are providing immunizations, managing chronic conditions, offering CLIA-waived lab testing, and supporting long-term care.
