Instructions for Use, Disposal and Other Handling: Before 1st use, the pen must be stored at room temperature for 1-2 hrs.
Inspect the cartridge before use. It must only be used if the solution is clear, colourless, with no solid particles visible, and if it is of water-like consistency. Since Lantus is a solution, it does not require resuspension before use.
Lantus must not be mixed with any other insulin or diluted. Mixing or diluting can change its time/action profile and mixing can cause precipitation.
Empty pens must never be reused and must be properly discarded.
To prevent the possible transmission of disease, each pen must be used by 1 patient only.
Insulin label must always be checked before each injection to avoid medication errors between insulin glargine and other insulins.
