Now the USFDA has approved Sanofi-aventis' new prefilled disposable insulin pen specifically for use in the administration of LANTUS®: Lantus SoloStar®.
Lantus SoloStar® offers a convenient administration of LANTUS® (the number 1 prescribed insulin in the world) and is the only disposable insulin pen that allows patients to administer doses from 1 up to 80 units, in one injection.
AS explained by Gilles Lhernould, Senior Vice President Industrial Affairs, sanofi-aventis:
"Sanofi-aventis is committed to working with the diabetes community to develop new technologies intended to help make the difficult task of managing diabetes simpler and more convenient.
Lantus SoloStar® is the result of more than 4 years of intensive development and testing with diabetes patients, doctors and nurses."
Giving diabetes patients an alternative to the traditional needle and syringe for insulin therapy, Lantus SoloStar® will be available in pharmacies sometime within this year.

I like the once a day dosing. The needle is so small you hardly feel it. I'm a type II Diabetic and after 10 years of oral medications it no longer was working for me. Started on Lantus and within a week my blood sugars have lowered. I am very pleased.
