Top tips for using your pre-filled pen

To avoid potential infection, do not share the pen with other people, even if the needle has been changed

Always use a new needle for each injection to prevent contamination

The needle should be removed after each injection and the pen should be stored without the needle attached. This reduces the risk of contamination, infection, medicine leakage, blocked needles and incorrect dosing

The Zegluxen^® pen and all medicines should be kept out of the reach and sight of children

If you drop your Zegluxen^® pen, or damage the needle, it should carefully be replaced. If the pen is damaged, do not try to repair the pen or pull it apart

Never put the inner needle cap back on the needle, this may result in needle-stick injuries

Do not wash, soak or lubricate the pen, as this can harm it. If cleaning is needed, use a cloth dampened with a mild detergent

Keep the pen away from dust, dirt and all kinds of liquid

The Zegluxen^® pen can be used for up to 30 days after first use, as long as it is kept below 30˚C

The Zegluxen^® pen should be refrigerated at 2˚C–8˚C but not frozen and stored away from the freezer compartment.

To store the pen prior to use, it should be refrigerated (2˚C–8˚C), but not frozen (or placed near the freezer compartment). Do not use the Zegluxen^® pen after the expiry date which can be found on the pen label and carton after ‘EXP’. The expiry date refers to the last day of that month.¹
