The Apidra SoloStar Pens are a rapid-acting insulin (similar to Fiasp) that begins working 10 to 20 minutes after application. Like insulin produced in the body, it allows glucose into fat cells and muscles to have energy. In addition, it will block glucose from being released from the liver.

Apidra SoloStar Pens (100IU/ml injectable) are used to improve blood sugar levels in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Fast-acting insulin effectively lowers blood sugar levels after meals and helps prevent severe diabetes complications.

Apidra is also available in vials and cartridges. Solostar pens and similar cartridges are available through the Apidra brand.

Diabetes medications or other long-acting insulin medications are typically prescribed with this medication. This insulin is to be injected subcutaneously (under the skin) by your nurse or doctor. You should exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and lose weight as part of your diabetes treatment.

Track your blood sugar levels regularly, and be sure to share them with your doctor so they can adjust your dosage accordingly. Your doctor may add other medications to your regimen such as Novolin and Ozempic to help better your diabetes management.
