Levemir PenFill Cartridge is a long-acting insulin used to help control high blood sugar in people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. It contains insulin detemir, a synthetic form of a hormone your body needs to regulate blood glucose (sugar). The PenFill cartridge formulation provides a consistent, slow-release of insulin that helps maintain stable blood sugar throughout the day.
Levemir PenFill Cartridge does not treat sudden high blood sugar and is not used for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Because diabetes management is individualized, careful monitoring and consistent use are important. Licensed Canadian pharmacies can dispense these cartridges with a valid prescription.

Use the injection technique exactly as instructed by your doctor or nurse, and carefully follow the instructions in the manual. Here are the usage guidelines on how to use the Levemir Penfill Cartridge for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes management:
Levemir PenFill contains insulin detemir, a long-acting insulin that works by mimicking the body’s natural basal insulin. Once injected, insulin detemir binds to blood proteins, allowing it to be released slowly and evenly. This steady release helps lower blood glucose by improving cellular glucose uptake and reducing liver glucose production.
