Levemir PenFill cartridges contain insulin detemir, a long-acting synthetic insulin. This insulin is designed to be absorbed quickly and released slowly, providing extended coverage for insulin needs throughout the day. It is classified as a basal insulin, which helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Levemir is associated with a lower risk of weight gain compared to other synthetic insulins.

The cartridges are pre-filled with a clear, colorless solution and are intended for use with insulin delivery devices like NovoPen, along with compatible needles such as NovoFine, NovoFine Plus, and NovoTwist. Each package includes five 3 mL cartridges.

Benefits

Levemir is used to control blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes mellitus, including adults and children. It is effective for:

  • Type 2 diabetes in adults using insulin for blood sugar control.
  • Type 2 diabetes in combination with liraglutide and metformin.
  • Type 2 diabetes with other oral anti-diabetic drugs.
  • Type 1 diabetes in adults, adolescents, and children aged 2 years and older.

Levemir is often used alongside a fast-acting mealtime insulin to manage blood sugar levels throughout the day and night. It is not recommended for treating diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), where fast-acting or short-acting insulin is preferred.

How to Use

Levemir should be injected subcutaneously, not into a vein or muscle. Rotate injection sites within the same area to minimize reactions. Suitable injection sites include the front of the thighs, abdomen, or upper arm. Regular blood sugar monitoring is essential, especially when changing insulin types or doses.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects include hypoglycemia and injection site reactions. Less common effects may involve allergic reactions and rashes. Monitor blood sugar levels closely, especially when adjusting doses or lifestyle changes. Severe hypoglycemia can lead to serious complications.

Warnings and Precautions

  • Do not use if experiencing hypoglycemia or allergic reactions to insulin detemir or other ingredients.
  • Avoid using if the cartridge is damaged or the insulin is not clear and colorless.
  • Consult a doctor if you have liver, kidney, or gland issues, consume alcohol, or have other health conditions.
  • Be cautious when using with thiazolidinediones (TZDs) due to increased risk of edema and heart failure.

Storage

Store Levemir cartridges in a refrigerator before use. Once in use, they can be kept at room temperature but should be protected from light and heat. Do not freeze.
