Apidra SoloStar Pens are prefilled insulin pens that deliver insulin glulisine, a fast-acting insulin used to manage blood sugar in people with diabetes mellitus, including both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Apidra works quickly to lower blood sugar after meals and helps prevent dangerous spikes in glucose levels. It is usually used along with a longer-acting insulin for complete blood sugar control.

How soon does Apidra start working after injection?
Apidra usually begins to lower blood sugar within 15 minutes of injection, making it important to take it close to mealtime.
Can Apidra be mixed with other insulins in the same syringe?
No, Apidra should not be mixed with other insulins when using the SoloStar Pen. It should be injected separately.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Apidra before a meal?
If you forget to take Apidra before eating, check your blood sugar and follow your doctor’s advice. You may still take it shortly after starting your meal, but do not double up on doses later.
How do I know if my Apidra SoloStar Pen is empty?
The dose window on the pen will show 0 units when it is empty. Discard the pen properly when used up.
Can Apidra SoloStar Pens be reused?
Each Apidra SoloStar Pen is prefilled and disposable. After all doses are used, the pen should be thrown away following proper sharps disposal guidelines.
