Preparing for injection

Check the label to make sure that 

your FlexPen

®

 contains the correct 

type of insulin. 
Pull off the pen cap.
If you are using a cloudy insulin mix 

it before use (instructions overleaf).

Keep the needle upwards and press 

the push-button all the way in. The 

dose selector should return to 0. 
A drop of insulin should appear at 

the needle tip. If not, change  the 

needle and repeat the procedure 

no more than 6 times. If a drop still 

does not appear, you must use a 

new FlexPen

®

.

To remove the needle simply guide 
the needle into the outer needle 
cap. When the needle is covered, 
carefully push the outer needle 
cap completely on and unscrew 
the needle. Dispose of the needle 
carefully into a sharps container 
and put the pen cap back on.

Push the needle into the skin, then 
press the dose button until you 
feel or hear a click and the dose 
indicator lines up with 0.
Only push the push-button when 
injecting and not before.

number of units you need to inject.  
The dose can be corrected by turning  
the dose selector in either direction 
until the correct dose lines up with the 
white pointer.

Note:

 When turning the dose 

selector, be careful not to push the 
push-button as insulin will come out.

Keep the push-button fully pushed 
in after the injection. 
Leave the needle under the skin for 
6 seconds and then remove it.
