For each medication you are taking, you should only need one syringe per month. You will be provided with one syringe for each enteral medication per month, and LPT Pharmacy will send out a six-month supply for each request. For example, if you are using three medications per month via the enteral tube, LPT Pharmacy would send out 18 medication syringes for this six-month period. Please advise on the number of medications per month requiring a 1ml, 5ml, or 10ml syringe (not the total number of syringes needed).

Ensure all traces of medication have been removed.
Separate the syringe and plunger.
Clean your syringes straight after use in warm soapy water.
Rinse both parts of the syringe under the tap, shake off excess water.
Dry with clean, disposable kitchen roll (do not use dishcloths or tea towel) or allow to air dry.
Ideally you should store the separated syringe parts in a clean dry container with a lid.
Do not place in the dishwasher as it can reduce the life of the syringes.
If using a cold sterilising solution, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and leave in the for the minimum time possible to preserve the syringe and markings.
