What are Admelog SoloStar Pens?
Admelog SoloStar Pens (insulin lispro) are man-made, fast-acting insulin that controls blood sugar levels in adults and children with diabetes mellitus.
This insulin injection helps manage high blood sugar by mimicking the body’s natural insulin response.
Admelog SoloStar Pens are supplied as prefilled pens for subcutaneous injection. They are used as part of a diabetes treatment plan to help manage blood sugar levels.
It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before using Admelog SoloStar, especially if you have liver or kidney issues, heart problems, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Always inform your doctor about other medications you are taking, particularly thiazolidinediones (TZDs), as they may alter how Admelog works
How Do Admelog SoloStar Pens Work?
Admelog SoloStar Pens work by regulating blood sugar levels in the body. This fast-acting insulin helps lower blood glucose by encouraging the muscles and fat to take in more glucose and reducing the amount of glucose the liver produces.
It also inhibits the breakdown of fats and proteins, promoting the synthesis of proteins and energy storage.
After injecting Admelog, the insulin starts working quickly, with its maximum effect usually seen within a couple of hours.
Admelog helps lower blood sugar after meals when used as prescribed by mimicking the natural insulin response to meals.
Dosage Information and Usage
Admelog SoloStar Pens are designed to help manage blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes.
These prefilled pens deliver fast-acting insulin to help manage post-meal blood sugar spikes. The recommended dosage and timing will vary based on individual needs, which your healthcare provider should determine.
Admelog is typically used before meals to help regulate blood sugar after eating.
Dosage Form and Strengths of Admelog SoloStar Pens
Admelog SoloStar Pens come in a 3 mL prefilled pen, offering a concentration of 100 units/mL (U-100) of insulin lispro.
These pens are designed for single-patient use. They provide a prefilled option for administering insulin to administer insulin without vials or syringes.
The pen dials insulin in 1-unit increments and is ready to use, which may be convenient for some patients for individuals with diabetes.
How to Use Admelog SoloStar Pens?
- Wash your hands thoroughly before using the pen.
- Remove the cap from the pen and attach a new needle.
- Check the insulin to ensure it is clear and colorless.
- Prime the pen by dialing to 2 units and pressing the button to expel air bubbles and ensure proper insulin flow.
- Dial the required dose of insulin as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
- Choose an injection site, such as the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
- Insert the needle at a 90-degree angle and press the button to inject the insulin.
- Hold the button for 5 seconds to ensure the full dose is administered.
- Remove the needle, dispose of it properly, and replace the cap on the pen.
- Wash your hands again.
Storage Information
Store Admelog SoloStar Pens in the original sealed carton and protect them from heat and light.
Do not freeze the pens; discard them if they have been frozen.
Unopened pens can be stored at room temperature (up to 86°F/30°C) or in the refrigerator (36°F–46°F/2°C–8°C) until their expiration date.
Once opened, Admelog SoloStar Pens must be used within 28 days, even if there is remaining insulin. Do not refrigerate opened pens.
For insulin pump use, replace the insulin every 7 days or as the manufacturer recommends.

Side Effects
Admelog SoloStar Pens may cause side effects ranging from mild to severe. It is essential to be aware of these effects and seek medical attention.
Below is a breakdown of common and severe side effects that may occur when using Admelog SoloStar Pens.
Common Side Effects
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
- Injection site reactions (itching, redness, swelling)

- Rash
Severe Side Effects

Warnings and Precautions
When using Admelog SoloStar Pens, following specific warnings and precautions is important to ensure safety and effective use.
Below are key considerations for users of Admelog.
- Never Share the Pen or Syringe: Admelog SoloStar Pens should never be shared between patients. Sharing pens or syringes can lead to transmitting blood-borne pathogens, even with a changed needle.
- Changes in Insulin Regimen: Altering insulin type, injection site, or method can affect blood sugar levels. Patients should consult with a healthcare provider when changing their insulin regimen to avoid risks like hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
- Risk of Hypoglycemia: Hypoglycemia is a common side effect of insulin. Severe hypoglycemia can be life-threatening and cause seizures. Regular blood glucose monitoring is essential to prevent hypoglycemia.
- Medication Mistakes: Patients must always verify the insulin label before injection to avoid mixing up different insulin products, which can lead to errors.
- Severe Allergic Reactions: If a severe allergic reaction, such as anaphylaxis, occurs, Admelog should be discontinued immediately and treated per standard medical procedures.
- Hypokalemia Risk: Insulin, including Admelog, can lower potassium levels, potentially leading to hypokalemia, which may cause muscle weakness or irregular heart rhythms. Monitor potassium levels in patients who are at risk.
- Heart Failure and Fluid Retention: When used with thiazolidinediones (TZDs), a class of medications that may cause fluid retention, Admelog could lead to or worsen heart failure, and close monitoring is advised.
- Insulin Pump Malfunction: Insulin pump malfunctions may lead to hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis. Patients should be prepared to use alternative insulin therapy, such as injections, in case of pump failure.
