A method for storing a medicament, said method comprising:

• providing a cartridge having a cylindrical wall having a first end portion and a second end portion, said cylindrical wall defining an interior space, a grommet disposed within said interior space defined by said cylindrical wall proximate said second end portion, and a septum disposed on said first end portion of said cylindrical wall, a medicament being disposed within said interior space defined by said cylindrical wall between said grommet and said septum;
• providing a package for said cartridge containing said medicament, said package comprising:
• a tube having a first end, a second end, and a wall defining a hollow interior chamber in communication with said first and second ends;
• a plug disposed within said hollow interior chamber proximate said second end, said plug constructed to prevent access by a hypodermic needle to a cartridge disposed within said hollow interior chamber through said second end of said tube when said plug is disposed within said hollow interior chamber;
• and
• a removable cover constructed to cover said first end of said tube;
• placing said cartridge containing said medicament within said hollow interior chamber of said tube;
• and
• placing said cap on said first end of said tube.

A combination comprising:

• a package comprising:
• a tube having a first end, a second end, and a wall defining a hollow interior chamber in communication with said first and second ends;
• a plug disposed within said hollow interior chamber proximate said second end, said plug constructed to prevent access by a hypodermic needle to a cartridge disposed within said hollow interior chamber through said second end of said tube when said plug is disposed within said hollow interior chamber;
• and
• a removable cover for covering said first end of said tube;
• and
• a cartridge disposed within said hollow interior chamber of said package, said cartridge having a cylindrical wall having a first end portion and a second end portion, said cylindrical wall defining an interior space, a grommet disposed within said interior space defined by said cylindrical wall proximate said second end portion, and a septum disposed on said first end portion of said cylindrical wall, a medicament being disposed within said interior space defined by said cylindrical wall between said grommet and said septum.

A combination comprising:

• a package comprising:
• a tube having a first end, a second end, and a wall defining a hollow interior chamber in communication with said first and second ends, an end wall disposed on said second end, said end wall separating said hollow interior from an external environment of said tube, said end wall constructed to prevent access by a hypodermic needle to a cartridge disposed within said hollow interior chamber through said second end of said tube;
• and
• a removable cover for covering said first end of said tube;
• and
• a cartridge disposed within said hollow interior chamber of said package, said cartridge having a cylindrical wall having a first end portion and a second end portion, said cylindrical wall defining an interior space, a grommet disposed within said interior space defined by said cylindrical wall proximate said second end portion, and a septum disposed on said first end portion of said cylindrical wall, a medicament being disposed within said interior space defined by said cylindrical wall between said grommet and said septum.
