Answer:
FlexPen® is a discreet, prefilled, dial-a-dose insulin pen. FlexPen® comes
packaged five devices per box, giving you 50% more insulin than a vial.*
*One box of 5 FlexPen® equals 1500 units versus one vial with 1000 units.
Answer:
FlexPen® only comes prefilled with the Novo Nordisk insulins, Levemir®,
NovoLog®, and NovoLog® Mix 70/30. Ask your doctor which insulin works best
for your condition. Learn
