Read the Instructions for Use before you start taking HUMALOG®and
each time you get another HUMALOG KwikPen®. There may be new information.
This information does not take the place of talking to your healthcare professional
about your medical condition or your treatment.
HUMALOG 200 units/mL KwikPen (“Pen”) is a disposable prefilled pen containing
600 units of HUMALOG [insulin lispro injection (rDNA origin)]. You can give
yourself multiple doses using one Pen. The Pen dials 1 unit at a time. You can
give from 1 to 60 units in a single injection. If your dose is more than 60 units,
you will need to give yourself more than one injection. The plunger only
moves a little with each injection, and you may not notice that it moves. The
plunger will only reach the end of the cartridge when you have used all 600 units
in the Pen.
This Pen is designed to allow you to give more doses than other pens you may have
used in the past. Dial your usual dose as instructed by your healthcare professional.
Humalog KwikPen is available in two strengths, 100 units/mL and 200 units/mL. Inject
Humalog 200 units/mL ONLY with your Pen. DO NOT transfer insulin from your Pen to
a syringe. Syringes will not measure 200 units/mL insulin correctly. A severe overdose
can result, causing very low blood sugar which may put your life in danger.
The Pen is for single patient use only. Do not share your Pen with other people, even
if the needle has been changed. Do not reuse or share needles with other people. You
may give an infection to them or get an infection from them.
This Pen is not recommended for use by the blind or visually impaired without the help of
someone trained to use the Pen.
