Novolin Flexpen R (Reli-On)

Manufacturer: Nordisk 

Novolin Flexpen R (Reli-On) is a pre-filled insulin delivery device designed for individuals managing diabetes. It offers a convenient and user-friendly option for those who require regular insulin injections. The Novolin FlexPen R boasts an ergonomic design that allows for easy handling and administration. The pen is lightweight and portable, making it ideal for users who are frequently on the go. The pen’s click mechanism provides audible and tactile feedback, ensuring that users know when they have successfully delivered their dose.

Features:

Each FlexPen comes pre-filled with 300 units of Regular Insulin; consequently, users no longer need to draw insulin from vials. This feature not only minimizes the risk of air bubbles and dosage errors but also enhances safety and accuracy. Additionally, the transparent barrel of the pen allows users to easily see the remaining insulin, which helps prevent unexpected shortages.

Moreover, the FlexPen R allows for customizable dosing, featuring an easy-to-read dose selector that offers increments of 1 unit. This precise dosing capability is crucial for individuals who need to tailor their insulin intake based on their carbohydrate consumption and blood sugar levels.

Furthermore, the Novolin FlexPen R can be injected subcutaneously in various sites, including the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. This flexibility helps reduce the risk of lipodystrophy, a condition that can occur with repeated injections in the same area. Thus, users are encouraged to rotate injection sites to promote better absorption and minimize discomfort.

Finally, proper storage is essential to maintain the efficacy of the Novolin FlexPen R. Unopened pens should be stored in the refrigerator; however, opened pens can be kept at room temperature for up to 28 days. Importantly, it’s essential to avoid freezing the insulin, as this can render it ineffective.
