Humalog KwikPen (Insulin Lispro) Community Rating

Category: Injection Prescription

Humalog is an injectable fast-acting man-made insulin. Humalog KwikPen is an easy-to-use, portable pen that comes prefilled with Humalog mealtime insulin. This lightweight pen is small enough to fit in your pocket and can be used just about anywhere — there is no refrigeration needed after first use. With the prefilled Humalog KwikPen, it's easy to set your dose: simply turn the dose knob in one-unit increments (up to 60 units) to your desired dose. If you dial too much, simply turn the knob back to your correct dose.

Having done the vial/syringe thing previously, using the Humalog Pen has been a very positive step forward. The no hassle ease of being able to use it anywhere has been wonderful

Pros:

1. Easy to use
2. Does not need to be refrigerated after first use (once open need to use within 30 days)
3. Less paraphenalia to worry about

Cons:

I haven't found any yet!
