SUPER: Prescription LANTUS is a long-acting man-made-insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes mellitus.
Laura: Hi, my name is Laura. I’d like to take a few minutes to tell you what you need to know about starting Lantus® (insulin glargine injection) 100 Units/mL using the SoloSTAR® pen. You’ve taken an important step by adding Lantus® to your diabetes treatment plan. One dose of Lantus® at the same time each day works all day and all night.
Prescription LANTUS is a long-acting man-made-insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes mellitus.
SUPER: Important Safety Information. Do not take Lantus®:
Important Safety Information. Do not take Lantus® during episodes of low blood sugar or if you are allergic to insulin or any of the inactive ingredients in Lantus®.
SUPER: The Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen delivers the dose you dial time after time.
Laura: The Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen delivers the dose you dial time after time. Today, I’ll be demonstrating the correct way to use the Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen.
SUPER: The Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen features:
Laura: The Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen can fit into your daily routine. It features small, thin needles, a large print dosing window, dial-in dose, and push-button injection.
SUPER: Do NOT:
Laura: Do not share needles, insulin pens, or syringes with others. Do not reuse needles.
To demonstrate how to correctly use the Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen, I’ll be taking you through these 6 steps:
Super: WHAT WE’LL COVER:
Step One: Inject the insulin
Step Two: Attach the Needle
Step Three: Perform a Safety Test
Step Four: Select the Dose
Step Five: Inject the Dose
Step Six: Remove and Discard Needle
It is important that you go over these instructions carefully before you using your SoloStar pen.
Step one: check the insulin.
SUPER: An unopened SoloSTAR® Pen should be refrigerated until first use. Do not store an opened SoloSTAR® pen in a refrigerator.
Laura: If your SoloSTAR® pen is in cool storage, take it out 1 to 2 hours before you inject to allow it to warm up. Cold insulin may be painful to inject.
SUPER: Check the label on your SoloSTAR® pen.
Laura: First, check the label on your SoloSTAR® pen to make sure you have the correct pen and insulin. The Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen is gray with a purple injection button.
Check the expiration date on the label of your pen. Do not use a SoloSTAR® pen after the expiration date.
SUPER: Do not use the pen if the insulin is cloudy, colored, or has particles.
Laura: Take off the pen cap. Check the appearance of the insulin. Lantus® is a clear insulin. Do not use the pen if the insulin is cloudy, colored, or has particles.
Step two: attach the needle.
Laura: Do not reuse needles. Always use a new sterile needle for each injection. This helps prevent contamination and potential needle blocks.
SUPER: Wipe the rubber seal.
Laura: Wipe the rubber seal with alcohol.
SUPER: Remove the protective seal.
Laura: Remove the protective seal from a new needle.
SUPER: Keep the needle straight as you attach it.
Laura: Line up the needle with the pen, and keep it straight as you attach it. Depending on the needle type, it may be pushed on or screwed on. If the needle is not kept straight while you attach it, it can damage the rubber seal and cause leakage, or break the needle.
Step three: perform a safety test.
SUPER: Do NOT use a syringe to remove Lantus® from your SoloSTAR® pen.
Laura: Always perform the safety test before each injection.
Performing the safety test ensures you get an accurate dose. It ensures that the pen and needle work properly, and it also removes air bubbles in the insulin.
SUPER: Select a dose of 2 units
Laura: Select a dose of 2 units by turning the dosage selector.
SUPER: Take off the outer needle cap.
Laura: Take off the outer needle cap and keep it to remove the used needle after injection.
Take off the inner needle cap and discard it.
Hold the pen with the needle pointing upwards. Then tap the insulin reservoir so that any air bubbles rise up towards the needle.
SUPER: Check if insulin comes out of the needle tip.
Laura: Press the button all the way in. Check if insulin comes out of the needle tip. You may have to perform the safety test several times before insulin is seen. If no insulin comes out, check for air bubbles and repeat the safety test two more times to remove them.
SUPER: If insulin still does not come out, the needle may be blocked. Change the needle and try again. If no insulin comes out after changing the needle, your SoloSTAR® pen may be damaged. Do not use it. Do NOT use a syringe to remove Lantus® from your SoloSTAR® pen.
Laura: If insulin still does not come out, the needle may be blocked. Change the needle and try again. If no insulin comes out after changing the needle, your SoloSTAR® pen may be damaged. Do not use it.
Step four: select the dose.
Laura: You can set the dose in steps of 1 unit, from a minimum of 1 unit to a maximum of 80 units. If you need a dose greater than 80 units, you should give it as two or more doses.
Check that the dose window shows “0” following the safety test.
SUPER: Select your required dose. Ask for help if you have problems handling the pen, for example, if you have problems with your eyesight.
Laura: Select your required dose. If you turn past your dose, you can turn the dial back down. Do not push the injection button while turning, as insulin will come out.
You cannot turn the dosage selector past the number of units left in the pen. Do not force the dosage selector to turn. If what remains is less than you need, either you can inject what is remaining in the pen and complete your dose with a new SoloSTAR pen, or you can use a new SoloSTAR® pen for your full dose.
Step five: inject the dose.
Laura: Use the injection method as instructed by your healthcare professional.
SUPER: The injection site should be changed each time you inject within the area you selected. DO NOT use the exact spot for each injection.
Laura: You can inject Lantus® in three areas of your body
Anywhere in your stomach area, except for a two-inch radius around your navel.
In the fatty tissue on the outer back area of your upper arm.
Or in your thighs. Remember, the injection site should be changed each time you inject.
Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab. Then insert the needle into the skin.
SUPER: Deliver the dose by pressing the injection button in all the way.
Laura: Deliver the dose by pressing the injection button in all the way. The number in the dose window will return to “0” as you inject.
SUPER: Keep the button pressed, and slowly count to 10.
Laura: Keep the button pressed all the way in. Slowly count to 10 before you withdraw the needle from the skin. This ensures that the full dose will be delivered.
Step six: remove and discard the needle.
Laura: Always remove the needle after each dose and store your SoloSTAR® pen without a needle attached. This helps prevent contamination and/or infection, as well as entry of air into the insulin reservoir and leakage of insulin, which can cause inaccurate dosing.
SUPER: Put the outer needle cap back on the needle, and use it to unscrew the needle from the pen.
Laura: Put the outer needle cap back on the needle, and use it to unscrew the needle from the pen. To reduce the risk of accidental needle injury, never replace the inner needle cap. If your injection is given by another person, special caution should be taken by this person when removing and disposing of the needle. Be sure to follow recommended safety measures for removal and disposal of needles in order to reduce the risk of accidental needle injury and transmission of infectious diseases.
Now I’m going to show you how to safely dispose of the needle.
SUPER: Used needles should be placed in Sharps containers.
Laura: Used needles should be placed in sharps containers (such as red biohazard containers), hard plastic containers (such as detergent bottles), or metal containers (such as an empty coffee can). Such containers should be sealed and disposed of properly. If you are giving an injection to a third person, you should remove the needle in an approved manner to avoid needle-stick injuries.
SUPER: Always put the pen cap back on the pen before storing the pen.
Laura: Always put the pen cap back on the pen before storing the pen until your next injection.
Storing your pen.
Laura: Please review the leaflet that came with your Lantus® prescription for complete instructions on how to use and store the Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen. If your SoloSTAR® pen is in cool storage, take it out 1 to 2 hours before you use it to allow it to warm up. Cold insulin may be painful to inject. Keep the SoloSTAR® pen out of the reach and sight of children.
Keep your unopened SoloSTAR® pen in cool storage until first use. Cool storage is between 36 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit, or 2 and 8 degrees Celsius. Do not allow it to freeze. Do not put it next to the freezer compartment of your refrigerator, or next to a freezer pack.
Once you take your SoloSTAR® pen out of cool storage, for use or as a spare, you can use it for up to 28 days. During this time it can be safely kept at room temperature, up to 86 degrees Fahrenheit or 30 degrees Celsius. Do not use it after this time.
Do not use a SoloSTAR® pen after the expiration date printed on the label of the pen or the label on the carton. Protect your SoloSTAR® pen from light. Discard your used SoloSTAR® pen as required by your local authorities
Caring for your SoloSTAR® pen.
Laura: Protect your SoloSTAR® pen from dust and dirt. You can clean the outside of your SoloSTAR® pen by wiping it with a damp cloth. Do not soak, wash, or lubricate the pen as this may damage it. Your SoloSTAR® pen is designed to work accurately and safely. It should be handled with care. Avoid situations where the SoloSTAR® pen might be damaged. If you are concerned that your SoloSTAR® pen may be damaged, use a new one. If you have any further questions about the Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen or managing your diabetes, be sure to speak to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
Thanks for joining me on this walk through how to use the Lantus® SoloSTAR® pen. I hope that you found these instructions helpful. Now, I will present the full Important Safety Information for Lantus®.
What is Lantus® (insulin glargine injection) 100 Units/mL?
Laura: Prescription Lantus® is a long-acting insulin used to treat adults with type 2 diabetes and adults and pediatric patients (children 6 years and older) with type 1 diabetes for the control of high blood sugar.

GETTING THE DOSAGE THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU
Whether you’re new to using insulin or already on insulin, expect your dose to be adjusted by your doctor over time. This is called titration.
YOUR DOCTOR WILL BASE YOUR DOSE ON:
- Your blood sugar testing results
- Your blood sugar goal number
- Your needs
HOW TO INJECT LANTUS WITH A VIAL AND SYRINGE
If your doctor told you to take Lantus using a vial and syringe, this presentation can help walk you through it, step by step.
1. Before You Get Started:
- Wash your hands
- Make sure the insulin is clear and colorless. Do not use it if it is cloudy or if you see particles; throw it away
- Do not mix or dilute Lantus® with any other insulin or solution. It will not work as intended, and you may lose blood sugar control
- Do not share needles, insulin pens, or syringes with others
- Do NOT reuse needles. Always use a new syringe
2. Prepare the Dose:
Remove the cap:
If you are using a new vial, remove the protective cap. Do not remove the stopper
Sterilize the top:
Wipe the top of the vial with an alcohol swab.
Inject air into the vial:
Draw air into the syringe that is equal to your insulin dose.
Put the needle:
Put the needle through the rubber top of the vial and push the plunger to inject the air into the vial.
Draw up the dose:
Leave the syringe in the vial and turn both upside down. Hold the syringe and vial firmly in one hand. Make sure the tip of the needle is in the insulin. With your free hand, pull the plunger to withdraw the correct dose into the syringe.
3. Remove Air Bubbles:
Check for Bubbles:
Before you take the needle out of the vial, check the syringe for air bubbles.
Tap to Release:
If bubbles are in the medicine, hold the syringe straight up and tap the side of the syringe until the bubbles float to the top.
Eject the Air:
Push the bubbles out with the plunger and draw insulin back in until you have the correct dose.
Remove the Needle:
Remove the needle from the vial. Do not let the needle touch anything. You’re now ready to inject.
4. Choose an Injection Area:
Pick your Spot:
Decide on injection area: either upper arm, thigh, or abdomen. Injection sites within an injection area must be different from one injection to the next.
Clean your Skin:
Using rubbing alcohol to clean the skin where you are going to inject. Alcohol can sometimes sting if it’s not completely dry when you inject, so wait a few seconds for it to evaporate or pat the area dry with a sterile cotton ball.
Pinch a Fold of Skin:
Pinch the skin and hold it. Insert the needle the way your healthcare professional showed you.
5. Complete Injection:
Administer Insulin:
Slowly push in the plunger of the syringe all the way, making sure you have injected all the insulin. Leave the needle in the skin for 10 seconds.
Apply Light Pressure:
Pull the needle straight out and gently press on the spot where you injected yourself for several seconds. Don’t rub the area.
Discard Materials Safely:
Follow your healthcare professional’s instructions for throwing away the needle and syringe.
For instructions on how to inject Lantus, please talk to your treating healthcare provider and refer to the instruction leaflet that came with your vial.
BE SYRINGE SAVVY
To make sure you get the right dose of insulin, always use a U-100 insulin syringe. (Your pharmacist can help you make sure you have the right syringe.) If you have trouble seeing the volume lines on a syringe, ask your healthcare team or pharmacist for a magnifying device that can help.
