Buy NovoRapid FlexPen (Insulin Aspart 100U/ml) Online – Rapid-Acting Mealtime Insulin

Buy NovoRapid FlexPen online from HubPharm Africa, a PCN licensed specialty pharmacy. NovoRapid contains insulin aspart 100 units/ml, a rapid-acting human insulin analogue used to control blood glucose at mealtimes in adults, adolescents and children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This listing is supplied as a carton of 5 x 3 ml prefilled FlexPens.

NovoRapid begins to work faster than regular human insulin, usually within 10 to 20 minutes of injection, reaching its peak effect between 1 and 3 hours and lasting around 3 to 5 hours. This makes it the mealtime, or bolus, component of a basal-bolus regimen, normally used alongside a long-acting basal insulin such as Lantus, Levemir or Tresiba.

NovoRapid is a prescription only medicine. Every order is reviewed by a HubPharm pharmacist before dispatch, and our chronic care team can support you with dose timing, injection technique, storage and adherence reminders through Afiya on WhatsApp. Same-day delivery within Lagos, 48 hours nationwide.

FAQ

What is NovoRapid FlexPen used for?

NovoRapid FlexPen is used to lower blood glucose in adults, adolescents and children with diabetes mellitus. It is a mealtime insulin, taken to cover the glucose rise that follows eating.

How quickly does NovoRapid start working?

NovoRapid usually starts to act within 10 to 20 minutes of injection, has its strongest effect between 1 and 3 hours, and lasts about 3 to 5 hours.

When should I inject NovoRapid before a meal?

NovoRapid is normally injected immediately before eating, within about 10 minutes of the meal. Because it acts quickly, it can also be given shortly after a meal if necessary. Always follow the schedule your doctor has set for you.

What is the difference between NovoRapid and NovoMix 30?

NovoRapid contains only rapid-acting insulin aspart. NovoMix 30 is a premixed insulin containing 30% soluble insulin aspart and 70% protaminated insulin aspart, so it provides both mealtime and background cover in one injection. They are not interchangeable. Never switch between them without medical advice.

Where on the body should NovoRapid be injected?

NovoRapid is injected under the skin of the abdomen, the upper arm, the thigh or the buttock. Absorption is fastest from the abdomen. Rotate the injection point within the same area at each dose to reduce the risk of lumps and skin thickening.

How should NovoRapid FlexPen be stored before use?

Unopened pens should be kept in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C, away from the cooling element. Do not freeze NovoRapid, and do not use it if it has been frozen. Keep the cap on to protect it from light.

How long can a NovoRapid FlexPen be used once started?

A pen that is in use should be kept below 30°C and used within 4 weeks. Do not put an in-use pen back in the refrigerator. Discard any pen that has been in use longer than the period stated in the manufacturer’s leaflet.

How many units are in a NovoRapid FlexPen?

Each FlexPen holds 3 ml of insulin aspart at a strength of 100 units per ml, which is 300 units per pen. This listing is supplied as a carton of 5 pens, giving 1,500 units in total. Doses can be dialled in single-unit steps.

Can NovoRapid be used together with a long-acting insulin?

Yes. NovoRapid is normally used as the mealtime insulin alongside a long-acting basal insulin such as insulin glargine, insulin detemir or insulin degludec. Your doctor sets both doses.

What are the signs of low blood sugar?

Hypoglycaemia is the most common side effect of insulin. Warning signs include sweating, shakiness, hunger, fast heartbeat, blurred vision, confusion, irritability and difficulty concentrating. Treat immediately with fast-acting glucose and tell your doctor if it happens often.

What should I do if I miss a mealtime dose?

Do not double the next dose to make up for a missed one. Check your blood glucose and follow the plan your doctor gave you. Contact a HubPharm pharmacist or your diabetes team if you are unsure.

Can NovoRapid be used during pregnancy?

Insulin aspart is used in pregnancy under medical supervision, and insulin requirements often change across the three trimesters and after delivery. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant so your doses can be reviewed.

Can children use NovoRapid FlexPen?

NovoRapid is used in children and adolescents with diabetes under the direction of a paediatric diabetes specialist. Dosing is individualised by weight and glucose response.

Can I share my insulin pen with another person?

No. Never share a FlexPen or a pen needle with anyone, even if the needle is changed. Sharing carries a risk of transmitting blood-borne infection. Use a new needle for every injection.
