Care and Storage
Take care when handling FlexPen®, a discreet alternative to vial and syringe.
The following tips help to ensure that FlexPen® works accurately and safely,
as intended.
Store unopened FlexPen® in a refrigerator (36°F to 46°F; 2°C to
8°C) but not in the freezer.
Do not use FlexPen® if insulin has been frozen.
Keep unused FlexPen® in the carton so it stays clean and protected from light.
After starting to use a FlexPen®, do not refrigerate it. However, do keep FlexPen®
as cool as possible (below 86°F; 30°C). Keep disposable, prefilled FlexPen®
away from heat and direct sunlight.
If your FlexPen® is unrefrigerated and contains:
- Levemir®,
it must be discarded after 42 days, even if it still contains Levemir®
- NovoLog®,
it must be discarded after 28 days, even if it still contains NovoLog®
- NovoLog® Mix 70/30,
it must be discarded after 14 days, even if it still contains NovoLog® Mix 70/30
