User Reviews for Levemir FlexTouch U-100 Insulin subcutaneous

The flex pen is very difficult to use. I used the flex touch pen for years with no problems. When you dial in the dose, the plunger extends so I have to use one hand to hold the pen and the other hand to push the plunger. I think a complaint should be made with the FDA. Also, CNN reported that NovoNorsic,, the manufacturer, reduced insulin cost by up to 75%. Looks like they’re making up their profits by using cheaper pens

Terrible design and very hard to use. I hate this new Flex-Pen

MFG Novo changed from FLE XTOUCH to FLEX PEN.... Let me tell you just how CHEAPLY MADE this new FLEX PEN is.... GARBAGE.... Called Novo to file a complaint & first they told me the change was due to supply issues THEN said the FLEX TOUCH is no longer being made, it is being replaced by the FLEX PEN (CHEAP GARBAGE). This PEN is SO FLIMSY, THE DIAL SOMETIMES MOVES WHEN YOU insert needle... I will NOT recommend this product to ANYBODY due to the lack of quality with this new pen.

The new injection pen is quite frankly a piece of crap! It takes a very long time to complete an injection, it often results in bent nano-needles, it is difficult to sometimes impossible to get a completed injection on the first try, it only injects 60 units in a shot resulting in a second injection for those that take more than 60 units. I could go on. If this change was a cost savings measure you'd better make a lot of monetary savings since you'll drive patients away from your product, me included.Read More Read Less

I have been using the Levemir Flex Touch for may years. The new Flex Pen is a very poor design. It is very difficult to inject. I will ask my doctor for a prescription for another product that is easier to use. I can't believe Levemir has chosen to replace their Flex Touch with the Flex Pen. I will communicate my dissatisfaction with friends so hopefully they won't experience the dissatisfaction I have experience.

Why would they change the design !!! The new one is very difficult to use . GENTLEMEN, IT WASN'T BROKE !!!!!!

The new pen is too hard to manipulate. I have had more bruising, scratching, and bent needles than the older version. How can we get the older pen back? This design should be trashed!

My question to the person who designed this new Levemir pen…..WHYYYYYYY??

This new pen is garbage, a waste of money, very hard to use

The new pen sucks..i do not have the strength in my hands to use it. Please return to the other one.

The new pens are horrible. Elderly parent with carpel tunnel trying to administer to the other parent. NIGHTMARE. I strongly suggest they go back to the drawing board, make a more user friendly pen. Put a recall on existing and replace with new model. HUGE FAIL!

The new Flexpen is nearly impossible to use. Can't imagine anyone with dexterity issues being able to successfully use them. Please bring back the last design!!

This new damn pen is crap! While trying to hold the pin into your skin and push the button at the same time the needle wants to move out of the skin sometimes it takes three insertions to complete one shot. Never had this problem with the previous pain. Very poor design. Thanks to the designer for the pain in the ass.

Have to push so hard I bend the needle. Just waiting to break one off inside me.

Newly designed injection pen is horrible! Two stick the needle in and use the push force that is necessary for this new pen is almost impossible. Unbelievable that they would go to this. How could you not know this is a bad design?

I have thumb arthritis in both hands! These are very hard for me to use.

have arthritis and new pen is very hard to use

Insulin works great but the new flexpen is horrible

The new pen design is poorly made and hard to use. You have to push really hard to inject medicine and just poor design . The older pen was a much better design.i imagine the company saves a few cents at patient comfort expense.

My insurance stopped covering Lantus. Switched to Levemir maybe 3 years ago. Seemed to be a good product with the Flextouch pens, that auto dispense the insulin.Now they’ve cheapened up these to flex pens. Absolutely terrible. Very difficult to dispense. Ask the manufacturer to please go back to what worked.
