Novorapid (Novolog) FlexTouch Pens Drug Info (Pack of 5 x 3 mL pens)

• OVERVIEW

  It is a disposable insulin pen that comes already filled with insulin aspart. Insulin aspart is the chemical or generic name of NovoLog in the US. In Canada, it is known as NovoRapid (which is the product name you will receive when ordering from us). Insulin aspart is a man-made, fast-acting mealtime insulin that is nearly identical in structure to naturally occurring human insulin. This insulin medication comes in a package of five FlexPens that have 3 mL of insulin aspart each.

• HOW IT WORKS?

  Novorapid (or Novolog in US) is a type of mealtime or bolus insulin, which works quickly to regulate blood sugar levels during and after the time of eating. You can start to eat within 5 to 10 minutes after taking it, with its peak action taking effect between 45-90 minutes, while lasting approximately 3-5 hours. These times are based on averages and can fluctuate due to which injection region you use, the temperature of the medication, your blood flow and exercise.

  
  

  It is an already filled, disposable insulin pen used for convenient injection purposes. It has a low injection force, adjustable dial-a-dose setting, a large clear scale and an enhanced color branding that allows you to easily identify what insulin you are using. The FlexPen is easy to learn how to use, with a proven accuracy of dosing, and with its ideal size it fits neatly in your purse, bag or pocket.

• DOSAGE

  Always follow the health advice of your doctor or other healthcare professional. Many different factors can affect your dose, including your diet, illness, activity level, work schedule,medication usage, pregnancy and travel. You should always closely monitor your blood sugar levels, especially if you are switching to Novorapid (Novolog) from another insulin. A longer-acting insulin is often used together with Novorapid (Novolog) to cover the periods of time between doses.
