medical supplies help: My syringe no longer functions. - Help.com

My syringe no longer functions.

I have an awkward measurement of medicine I need to take daily, my doctor gave me a syringe to measure it out in but since cleaning it the syringe pumpy bit sort of sticks. You cant use it smoothly. Any ideas how to fix this? Or do I need to get a new one?

I think you should get a new one.

*sigh* I think I have to. I dont want to though, I’d feel like a junkie lol. Luckily my dad works at a hospital, I’ll ask him to nick me one.

I assume you’re not talking about the needle. They should be replaced every day or two. If the syringe is not sealing properly you should replace it immediaely…. perhaps it is just the plunger.
