Follow these straightforward steps every time you use the Lantus® SoloStar® pen.

CHECK

STEP 1

ATTACH

THE NEEDLE

1.Wipe the rubber seal on the pen body with an alcohol swab.

2.Remove the protective seal from a new needle. The Lantus® SoloStar® pen works with Becton Dickinson (BD) Ultra-Fine™ needles. Use a sterile new needle for each injection to prevent contamination and blocked needles.

3.Line up the needle with the pen. Keep the needle straight as you screw it on. Make sure the needle is firmly attached.

4.Take extra care: If you don’t keep the needle straight while you attach it, it can damage the rubber seal and cause leaks, or break the needle.
