User Reviews for Levemir FlexTouch U-100 Insulin subcutaneous

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.

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.

too hard to push on new replacement lot nzf4f62 ,I bent 3 tips this week

The new one is very difficult to use. Seems like it’s a cheap, poor quality pen.

You can’t press the green button on the new pens. The old pens were so much easier. Why would a company cheapen there pens to make them so hard to push the green button. Novo Nordisk has no interest in what their customers think.

This New pen is VERY difficult for my 89 year old mother to push the button. She needs two hands and at times she has to push so hard the needle skims off causing the needle to cut her. The old pen with the auto button was perfect. Change the pen back and don't be so cheap trying to save a buck. This is for her health and she needs to administer the insulin herself.

I've used Levemir Flex-Touch injectors for years, but the new version of the pen simply doesn't work. I put the same needle tip I've been using for years (and have a big box of) in the new pen, dialed it to the same dosage, and pushed the button--and it injects one unit. I have to hit the button once for every unit I want to inject. Please give me the old design again.

Bring back the flexpen, this is too hard to push, changing to a vial because of this.

The new pen is very hard to use. I have to use 2 hands and push real hard to get it to dispense the full dose. Give me back the old pen please.

Pen to vary hard to push I need to use 2 hands

The new pen is very user unfriendly. Turning the dial to load is easy enough, but getting it to administer injection is almost impossible. I have to push extremely hard and then it will only do a couple of units. This results in pain as i am pushing so hard, resulting on the needle to hurt and burn. Give me back the old pen before this new and improved pen. St least it worked. Very unhappy.

Pen design is extremely flawed. Works 75% of the time.

I used these pens for quite a while without a single problem, but suddenly every one I use malfunctions. I have thrown away several, but in the future I will be returning them to the pharmacy when they malfunction. They are too expensive and too important to be so shoddy. Returning them will be a huge inconvenience.

Had to switch to this from Lantus due to insurance. I have to take this in the morning and night; it does not cover 24 hours. I've had several pens jam, first use of a new pen and the plunger does nothing, no click, no injection, dial does not go back to zero. I just spent 48 minutes between CVS Caremark and Novo Nordisk trying to get it resolved. Now I have to get a new Rx sent to local pharmacy to start the replacement voucher process. Given all the complaints, it seems like they just don't care enough to fix these design problems. Read More Read Less
