In one example, an accessory for a drug injection device has a proximal end, a distal end, a receptacle, and a base. The receptacle defines a cavity that extends into the proximal end towards the distal end and terminates at an inner surface. The cavity receives an injection end of the drug injection device therein so as to position a needle of the drug injection device for delivery of a medication. The receptacle defines an opening that extends into the distal end and through the inner surface. The opening receives the needle of the drug injection device therethrough and has a cross-sectional dimension that is smaller than a cross-sectional dimension of the cavity. The base is disposed at the distal end of the injection device and has a skin-contacting surface with a cross-sectional dimension that is greater than the cross-sectional dimension of the cavity.
