Question 1

Does Levemir affect the kidneys?

Accepted Answer

No, Levemir (insulin detemir) does not directly harm or damage the kidneys. However, people with kidney disease may require dose adjustments because insulin can last longer in the body.

Question 2

Can the Levemir 100 u/mL Cartridge be mixed with other insulins?

Accepted Answer

No, the Levemir (insulin detemir) 100 u/mL cartridge should not be mixed or diluted with any other insulins or solutions. Mixing Levemir with other insulins can unpredictably alter the time-action profile (onset and duration) of one or both components. This may affect blood glucose control.

Question 3

How long does Levemir last after opening?

Once opened, the Levemir PenFill cartridge can be used for up to 42 days. Store Levemir at room temperature (below 86°F/30°C) or in the refrigerator (36°F-46°F/2°C-8°C). Protect the cartridge from heat, sunlight, and freezing, and discard any unused portion properly after 42 days.
