NOVORAPID FlexPen Insulin Aspart 100IU/ml – 3ml Prefilled Injection Pen (Pack of 5) | Rapid-Acting Insulin for Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes
NOVORAPID FlexPen contains Insulin Aspart 100IU/ml, a rapid-acting insulin analogue designed to mimic the body’s natural insulin response to meals. It starts working within 10–20 minutes, peaks at 1–3 hours, and has a duration of 3–5 hours. This makes it highly effective for managing post-meal glucose spikes in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. NOVORAPID is often combined with long-acting insulin regimens for complete glycemic control. Each 3ml FlexPen allows convenient, precise dosing and is portable for daily use. Consistent treatment helps prevent long-term diabetes complications such as kidney failure, nerve damage, eye disorders, and cardiovascular disease.
