Minimize Mix-Ups With Pen Injectors

November 2023

You play a big role in preventing errors with pen injectors for diabetes.

Stay sharp for product mix-ups. For example, tirzepatide (Mounjaro) can easily be mistaken for the osteoporosis med teriparatide (Forteo)...and they’re both prefilled pens that are kept in the fridge.

Plus a med can be available in more than 1 type of pen. Basaglar (insulin glargine), Humalog (lispro), and Lyumjev (lispro-aabc) come as a KwikPen and now as a Tempo Pen. Tempo Pen works with a “smart button” to send info about doses to a mobile app.
