Overview

Apidra Solostar 100IU/ml Pre-Filled Pen is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a medicine, with Insulin glulisine 100 IU/ml as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Apidra Solostar 100IU/ml Pre-Filled Pen is for subcutaneous injection only (never intravenous unless specifically directed and supervised by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting), usually given shortly (0-15 minutes) before or immediately after a meal, as instructed by your doctor. Rotate injection sites (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm) to reduce skin thickening, and ensure you have been properly trained in pen handling, needle attachment/disposal, and injection technique before using it.

Dosage

Apidra Solostar 100IU/ml Pre-Filled Pen is a HIGH RISK medicine that must only be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Your individual dose, injection timing relative to meals, and any adjustments are determined by your doctor or diabetes specialist based on your blood glucose monitoring, diet, activity level, and other insulin or diabetes medicines you use. Never change your dose without your doctor’s instruction.

Storage Instructions

Store unopened pens in a refrigerator (2-8°C). Do not freeze, and discard the pen if it has been frozen. Once a pen is in use (opened), it may be stored at room temperature below 25°C, away from direct heat and light, and used within 28 days, then discarded even if insulin remains.

Side Effects

  • Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia)
  • Weight gain
  • Injection site redness or swelling
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Sweating or shakiness

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to insulin glulisine or any ingredient in this product
  • Episodes of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) that have not been resolved
  • Use in insulin pumps unless the specific pump has been validated for use with insulin glulisine

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Alcohol can increase the risk and mask the warning signs of hypoglycaemia
  • Oral diabetes medicines, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and certain other medicines can increase the blood-sugar-lowering effect and raise hypoglycaemia risk
  • Corticosteroids, thyroid hormone, and some other medicines can raise blood sugar and reduce insulin’s effectiveness, requiring dose adjustment
  • Always inform every doctor and pharmacist involved in your care about all insulin and other medicines you are using

Quick Tips

  • Always check your blood glucose as advised by your doctor, and carry a fast-acting source of sugar (e.g. glucose tablets, sweet juice) in case of hypoglycaemia
  • Never skip a meal after injecting a mealtime dose of this rapid-acting insulin
  • Rotate injection sites regularly to prevent skin changes that can affect insulin absorption
  • Check that your pen and insulin look normal (clear, colourless, no particles) before each injection, and never share your pen with another person, even with a new needle

Ingredients / Active Ingredients

  • Insulin glulisine 100 IU/ml
