Description
The NovoLog Penfill, recognized as NovoRapid in Canada, serves as an insulin pen cartridge. Each cartridge holds a 3 ml solution, amounting to 300 units. Specifically, every ml offers 100 units of insulin aspart, equivalent to 3.5 mg. When ordering, ensure you’re selecting the right cartridges, as several insulin brands, including Levemir, have their cartridge varieties. This insulin is essential for type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients, assisting in glucose management and hypoglycemia prevention. Typically, physicians recommend this quick-acting insulin around meal times to manage post-meal blood glucose spikes. NovoLog Penfill pairs exclusively with Novo Nordisk’s insulin delivery systems, functioning optimally with NovoFine or NovoTwist needles. For subcutaneous injections, utilize a reusable pen. However, for syringe or IV injections, turn to a vial; and for infusion pumps, either a vial or a NovoLog PumpCart is apt. NovoLog (NovoRapid) also comes in FlexPens and vials for broader usage options.
