description: APIDRA SOLOSTAR PEN is a preparation containing Insulin Glulisin which is included in the fast-acting (Rapid-Acting) insulin analog group. This insulin is used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus in adult patients, adolescents and children aged 8 years and above where treatment with insulin is required. In diabetes mellitus sufferers, it is possible that the body is unable to utilize glucose to be converted into energy due to inadequate insulin production, or the body cannot use insulin properly, or both. APIDRA works by helping blood sugar (glucose) to enter cells, so the body can convert it into energy. MUST ACCORD TO THE DOCTOR'S INSTRUCTIONS. Purchasing this drug requires education regarding the appropriate and safe use or consumption of the drug which will incur a fee.
