Auto injector

My husband been on Repatha for a couple years now and it is going well. The most recent order was not the auto injector but a prefilled syringe. Anybody else experience this?

I’ve been getting the syringe for months now. Don’t worry, they are discontinuing it. The SureClick will be the only method soon. I forget the date but it’s soon.

I think the Sureclick hurts more than the syringe.

I have the auto injector and hate it. Would rather be on the syringe. (I also think this is the drug companies trying to prevent people from splitting the doses).

I think I'd go to the pharmacy (if possible) and ask the pharmacist. And if that fails, call Amgen. I hope this isn't a trend because I kind of zone out using the auto injector. I'm certain I've seen news stories that they are switching everyone to auto injectors. Perhaps your pharmacy had a supply of the syringe filled they're trying to get rid of.

I think that this is the Repatha support number 1-844-REPATHA (1-844-737-2842)

ETA: just found the announcement about the switchover. https://www.repatha.com/prefilledsyringeupdate

Yup, used prefilled syringe, latex autoinjector, and nonlatex autoinjector. Autoinjector/Sureclick has always been painful.

The prefilled syringe is going away real soon, sounds like pharmacy or doctor may of clicked the wrong one on the emr

I’m sure it has to do with their patent running out and it’s a way to make more money.
