How to take
The REZVOGLAR KwikPen is a disposable insulin delivery device for use by a single patient to inject REZVOGLAR. Read the Instructions for Use that come with your REZVOGLAR single-patient-use prefilled KwikPen. These instructions provide details on how to prepare and inject a dose of REZVOGLAR, and how to throw away used REZVOGLAR prefilled pens and needles.
Be sure to check your blood sugar levels and use REZVOGLAR exactly as your doctor tells you to. Your doctor may tell you to change your dose because of illness, increased stress, or changes in your weight, diet, or level of physical activity or exercise. He or she may also tell you to change your dose because of other medicines you take.
The dose indicator on your pen shows your dose of REZVOGLAR. Do not make any dose changes unless your healthcare provider tells you to. Do not use a syringe to remove REZVOGLAR from your KwikPen disposable prefilled pen. DO not re-use needles. Always use a new needle for each injection. Re-use of needles increases your risk of having blocked needles, which may cause you to get the wrong dose of REZVOGLAR. Using a needle for each injection lowers your risk of getting infection. If your needle is blocked, follow the instructions in Step 3 of the Instructions for Use.
Before injecting your REZVOGLAR
You can inject REZVOGLAR yourself, or you can have a trained caregiver inject it for you. Make sure you or your caregiver:
- Check your insulin label each time you give your injection. This will help you make sure that you are using the correct insulin.
- Use a new needle for each injection. You can get a serious infection or the wrong dose of insulin if you re-use needles.
When you are ready to inject
- Take REZVOGLAR once a day, at the same time each day.
- Change (rotate) where you inject your insulin with each dose. This can help reduce your chance of getting pits, lumps, or thickened skin where you inject your insulin. Do not inject your insulin into the exact same spot or where the skin has pits or lumps. Avoid injecting into thickened, tender, bruised, scaly, hard, scarred, or damaged skin.
Staying safe while taking your REZVOGLAR
To stay safe while taking REZVOGLAR, be sure you only use REZVOGLAR that is clear and colorless and does not have any particles.
Be sure you do not:
- mix REZVOGLAR with any other type of insulin or solution.
- drive or use heavy machinery until you know how REZVOGLAR affects you.
- drink alcohol or use other medicines that contain alcohol when taking REZVOGLAR.
- use REZVOGLAR in an insulin pump or inject REZVOGLAR into your vein (intravenously).
