Levemir PenFill Cartridges 100 Unit/ml 5×3 ml 

Basic Properties

Active substance: Insulin detemir

Levemir PenFill is long-acting insulin for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is very similar to human insulin produced naturally in the body. After administration, its effect starts after a few hours and keeps for approximately 24 hours. Doctors recommend taking it along with rapid-acting insulin.

Levemir helps to readjust excessive blood sugar to various tissues like muscles, fat, or the liver. It is also prescribed to the patients to control glucose levels and high blood sugar.

Do not forget to check the cartridges before inserting them into the pen. There should be no visible damages; the solution must be clear, without any premises or sediment. Do not use the cartridge if it is broken or not colorless (or almost colorless)!

Instructions for Use

Depending on the insulin regimen prescribed by the doctor, Levemir should be applied once (before sleep) or twice (in the morning and before bed) per day. To reduce the chances of getting any infections, do not use the same cartridges for two different people, even if the needles were previously changed. Keep the medication at room temperature for comfortable administration.

Limitations

People with the following issues cannot use Levemir penfill cartridges:

• Allergic reactions to Levemir or its components;
• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels episodes).
• Diabetic ketoacidosis.

The doctor may prescribe an insulin analogue if Levemir is not suitable for you.

Dosing and Administration

Levemir is a prescription medicine, which means only a specialist can calculate the dose and frequency of taking Levemir for you. He may increase or decrease its amount if there were changes in your basal insulin and medications, sudden weight loss or gain, physical activity or diet routine, etc.

You can choose the injection site: abdomen, shoulder, thighs, or buttocks. Change the area after each injection to avoid lumps and bumps formation. Do not massage the area after the insulin dose. Do not inject into the vein or muscle.

Side Effects

After you’ve started using Levemir, the following side effects may occur:

• Dizziness;
• Injection site reactions (rash or slight allergy);
• Mood swings;
• Excessive sweating;
• Hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level).

Usually, these inconveniences do not demand a doctor’s help. However, you may need to talk to your doctor in case of these signs and symptoms:

• Problem breathing;
• Fast heartbeat;
• Blurred vision;
• Loss of consciousness.

These issues may lead to more serious problems, including heart failure, so make sure you’ve notified your doctor right after noticing at least one of them.

Storage and Handling Conditions

Levemir, as all insulin products for patients with type 2 and 1 diabetes, should be stored in the refrigerator at a temperature of 2 to 8 ° C. The medicine cannot be frozen or kept near the freezer compartment. If you’ve accidentally frozen the cartridge – do not use it!
