Actrapid Flexpen is a rapid-acting insulin used to manage blood glucose levels in diabetes. This prefilled pen by Novo Nordisk offers convenient subcutaneous or intravenous administration.

Actrapid Flexpen is primarily used for the management of diabetes mellitus. It helps control blood sugar levels, especially around mealtimes. This insulin is often prescribed for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes to support glucose regulation.

Actrapid Flexpen works by rapidly lowering blood sugar levels after meals. Users may experience effects within 30 minutes, with peak activity typically occurring within 1 to 3 hours. The duration of action can last up to 8 hours.
