Caution For Usage
Incompatibilities: Toujeo must not be mixed with any other insulin products. Mixing changes the time/action profile of Toujeo and causes precipitation.
Preparation and Handling:
Before first use, the pen must be stored at room temperature at least 1 hour before use.
Before using Toujeo SoloStar pre-filled pen, the Instructions for Use included in the package leaflet must be read carefully. Toujeo SoloStar pre-filled pen has to be used as recommended in these Instructions for Use (see Dosage & Administration).
The cartridge should be inspected before use. It must only be used if the solution is clear, colorless, with no solid particles visible and if it is of water-like consistency. Since Toujeo is a solution, it does not require resuspension before use.
Insulin label must always be checked before each injection to avoid medication errors between Toujeo and other insulins. The strength "300" is highlighted in honey gold on the label (see Precautions).
A syringe must never be used to withdraw Toujeo from the cartridge of the SoloStar pre-filled pen or severe overdose can result (see Dosage & Administration).
Needles must be discarded immediately after use. A new sterile needle must be attached before each injection. Re-use of needles increases the risk of blocked needles which may cause underdosing or overdosing. Using a new sterile needle for each injection also minimizes the risk of contamination and infection. In the event of blocked needle, the patients must follow the instructions described in Step 3 of the Instructions for Use accompanying the package leaflet (see Dosage & Administration).
Used needles should be thrown away in a puncture resistant container or disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
Empty pens must never be reused and must be properly discarded.
To prevent possible transmission of disease, insulin pen should never be used by for more than one person, even when the needle is changed (see Dosage & Administration).
