Apidra 100 Units/ml solution for injection in a cartridge

Pens to be used with Apidra 100 units/ml solution for injection in a cartridge

Apidra 100 units/ml in cartridges is only suitable for subcutaneous injections from a reusable pen. If administration by syringe, intravenous injection or infusion pump is necessary, a vial should be used.

The Apidra cartridges should only be used with the following pens:

  • JuniorSTAR which delivers Apidra in 0.5 unit dose increments
  • OptiPen, ClikSTAR, Tactipen, Autopen 24, AllStar and AllStar PRO which all deliver Apidra in 1 unit dose increments.
    These cartridges should not be used with any other reusable pen as the dosing accuracy has only been established with the listed pens (see section 4.2 and 6.6).
    Not all of these pens may be marketed in your country.

 

 

 

4.5     Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

 

Studies on pharmacokinetic interactions have not been performed. Based on empirical knowledge from similar medicinal products, clinically relevant pharmacokinetic interactions are unlikely to occur.

A number of substances affect glucose metabolism and may require dose adjustment of insulin glulisine and particularly close monitoring.

Substances that may enhance the blood‑glucose‑lowering activity and increase susceptibility to hypoglycaemia include oral antidiabetic medicinal products, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, disopyramide, fibrates, fluoxetine, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), pentoxifylline, propoxyphene, salicylates and sulfphonamide antibiotics.
