I’m happy to clarify about needle compatibility with the Ryzodeg 100IU/ml Flextouch Pen.
The Ryzodeg Flextouch Pen is designed to be used with specific insulin pen needles that fit its mechanism. Not every needle will fit this pen safely or effectively. Typically, standard insulin pen needles with a compatible length and gauge are recommended. These needles usually range from 4mm to 8mm in length and have a fine gauge (such as 31G or 32G) to ensure comfortable and accurate insulin delivery.
Using needles that are not designed for this pen can lead to problems such as:
- Incorrect dosing due to improper needle fit
- Damage to the pen’s injection mechanism
- Increased discomfort or risk of injection site issues
To ensure safety and effectiveness, always use needles specifically labeled as compatible with the Ryzodeg Flextouch Pen. Your pharmacist or diabetes specialist nurse can help you select the right needle size and type based on your needs.
If you have any doubts or need guidance on needle selection, please consult your diabetes specialist or pharmacist for personalized advice.
