Once you use a pen:
• Don’t refrigerate it.
• You can continue to use it for up to 28 days.
• Store it safely at room temperature but not
higher than 86°F.
• Don’t leave it anywhere it might overheat,
such as a windowsill or a car parked in
sunlight. And keep the pen away from
sunlight as much as possible.
• After 28 days, throw it away, even if it still
has insulin in it.
• Don’t use it after the expiration date printed
on the label or carton.
• Occasionally wipe it with a damp cloth to
keep it clean.
• Don’t run it under water or use any soap
or solvents.

Before you use the pens:
• Keep them in the outer package and in the
refrigerator.
• Don’t let them freeze—this will damage the
insulin. And don’t put them next to the freezer
or near a freezer pack.
• Take one out of the refrigerator and let it warm
up to room temperature an hour or two before
you use it. Cold insulin can be more painful
to inject.
Always keep at least one spare Lantus ®
SoloStar ® pen in case your current one
is lost or damaged.
