NovoLog is a disposable insulin pen that comes pre-filled with insulin aspart. Insulin aspart is the chemical or generic name of NovoLog in the US. In Canada, it is known as NovoRapid (which is the product name you may receive when ordering NovoLog from BuyInsulin.com). This insulin medication comes in a package of five FlexPens that have 3 mL of insulin aspart each
NovoLog is used for the control of blood sugar levels in adults and children with diabetes. It has a relatively low likelihood of causing hypoglycemia, which is low blood sugar, the most common side effect of insulin therapy.
The drug is taken subcutaneously in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm. As with all insulin, its absorption, onset and duration of action can be affected by exercise, stress, sickness, or changes in medications or meal patterns. Your FlexPen should be rotated 180 degrees at least ten times or until it is uniform and cloudy before injection.
