Lantus clickstar, Quick Manual

Page: 6 / 8

Before use
• Always attach a new needle before each
injection.
• Always check the label on the insulin before
use to ensure that you have the correct type
of insulin.
Usage
• Never use a cylinder ampoule that is
damaged.
• Never use the ClikStar if it is damaged or not
functioning correctly.
• If you use different types of insulin, you
should have different-coloured pens for
each type of insulin.
If you are unable to set the required dose,
check that there is sufficient insulin in the
cylinder ampoule. If there is not enough
insulin left in the cylinder ampoule, you can
do one of the following:
• inject what is left in the cylinder ampoule
and make up your dose using a new cylinder
ampoule.
• or use a new cylinder ampoule to inject the
full dose.
Never force the dosage knob.
When the insulin is getting low
, you can see
on the cylinder ampoule’s graded scale rough-
ly how much insulin is left. This scale only
gives a rough idea of how much is left and
should not be used for precise dose reading.
Storage of your ClikSTAR
• Store out of reach and sight of children.
• If the cylinder ampoule is stored in a cold
place (e.g. in a fridge), take it out 1-2 hours
before injecting to allow it to warm up.
• Once a cylinder ampoule has been started, it
can be used for up to 28 days under normal
circumstances.
• After 4 years of use, you should discard your
ClikStar pen as instructed by medical staff
and as per local regulations.
• Protect your ClikStar from direct sunlight.
• See the insulin package leaflet for further
information on storage.
If you need to clean the outside of your
ClikStar, you can wipe it with a damp cloth.
Do not soak or wash your ClikStar.
