Promote Proper Use of Pen Injectors for Diabetes

November 2023

You can help prevent errors with pen injectors for diabetes...insulin, semaglutide (Ozempic), tirzepatide (Mounjaro), etc.

Stay sharp for product mix-ups. For example, tirzepatide can easily be mistaken for the osteoporosis med teriparatide (Forteo)...and they’re both prefilled pens that are kept in the fridge.

Plus a med can be available in more than 1 type of pen. Basaglar (insulin glargine), Humalog (lispro), and Lyumjev (lispro-aabc) come as a KwikPen and as a Tempo Pen.
