Vet RX Direct makes possible a happy life for my kitty
My kitty Chauncey is 16 years old and has had diabetes for the last 7 years. Vet RX Direct has always had the most economical supplies for the insulin and pen needles that Chauncey needs. He's a 10 pound orange tabby cat who came from a rescue and was adopted by me when he was 3 years old. I'm a senior on a fixed income so price is so important. Chauncey is my companion and the best cat I could have ever imagined.

First time using this product
Being that this was the first time we have ever used an injection pen, I had no idea that you were supposed to buy separate needles to screw on the end of it before injecting. It would have been nice to have been sent instructions with this product for those of us who are new users to know what to do. Also when I purchased this pen, I thought it would be enough for a month supply and realized after the fact when I was administering injections and seeing how quickly we were going through the medicine that it was only a 12 day supply. Other than that I have no other issues with it. It's fairly easy to use, I'm still more of a fan of the syringes.

Great size for 28 day low dose insulin
From UndisclosedComments about Basaglar (insulin glargine injection)This size insulin's perfect for my cats low dose prescription. Before this we wasted half of a $300 prescription as it expires after 28 days opened. . This size eliminates the waste of product and money, which I saved $150 buying this way.

Q & A
-
Typically how long do the pens last???
-
Once the pen is removed from the refrigerator and used for the first time, it should be left at room temperature and can be done so for 28 days. After 28 days, please discard the pen in a sharps container even if there is still insulin left in the pen. Depending on how much insulin your veterinarian prescribed for your cat or dog, the use of the pen may be less 28 days. This product comes as a 3 milliliter pen with 300 units in each. The pens should be used one at time keeping the remaining unused pens in the refrigerator. You should talk to your veterinarian about further questions or concerns.

Our diabetic cat is on two doses of three units each day. Would the dosage be the same for this product??
-
Basaglar is a long-acting insulin that is typically dosed once daily. Different types of insulin vary based on their duration of action. We are not able to determine an equivalent dose for this product without more information about your cat's current insulin. Please contact your veterinarian regarding the best insulin regimen for your cat.
