How Does NovoLOG FlexPen Work?

Insulin aspart works by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. It mimics the natural insulin response to meals and helps to regulate glucose metabolism in the body.

  • Pre-filled pen: Available in a concentration of 100 units/mL (U-100).

Typical Dosing

  • Adults and Children: The dosage of NovoLOG FlexPen is individualized based on blood sugar monitoring, dietary intake, and physical activity. It is usually injected subcutaneously 5 to 10 minutes before meals. The healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage and timing for each patient.
