Product Description
Product Name: Levemir Flexpen Prefilled Pen 100Iu/ml
Product Form: Pen
Pack Size: 15's
Manufactured By: Novo Nordisk
Used For:
Levemir FlexPen contains insulin detemir, a long-acting insulin used to:
- Manage Blood Sugar Levels in Diabetes: Used for the treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes to help control blood glucose levels.
- Basal Insulin: Provides a steady level of insulin throughout the day and night to manage blood sugar levels between meals and during sleep.
Side Effects:
Common side effects of Levemir FlexPen may include:
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which can cause symptoms like shakiness, sweating, dizziness, confusion, and headache
- Injection site reactions (e.g., redness, swelling, itching)
- Weight gain
- Lipodystrophy (changes in fat tissue at the injection site)
Less common but more serious side effects may include:
- Severe hypoglycemia, which can lead to seizures, unconsciousness, or even death if not treated promptly
- Allergic reactions, including rash, itching, or swelling, particularly of the face, tongue, or throat, which can cause difficulty breathing
- Potassium level changes (hypokalemia), which may affect heart function
Precautions:
- Hypoglycemia Risk: Monitor blood glucose levels regularly, and be aware of the symptoms of hypoglycemia. Carry a source of fast-acting sugar, such as glucose tablets, in case of low blood sugar.
- Injection Technique: Rotate injection sites to avoid lipodystrophy. Do not inject into areas that are sore, swollen, or bruised.
- Dosage Adjustments: Insulin requirements may change during times of illness, stress, or changes in diet or exercise. Consult your healthcare provider if you need to adjust your dose.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Insulin detemir is considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but insulin needs may change during pregnancy, so close monitoring is necessary.
- Drug Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider of all medications, supplements, and over-the-counter products you are taking, as some medications can affect blood glucose levels or interact with insulin.
