How many doses are in a Norditropin FlexPro pen?

The Norditropin FlexPro pen comes in four strengths that each hold a total of 4 mL of solution. 4 mg/1.5 mL, 5 mg/1.5 mL, 5 mg/1.5 mL (green label), and 10 mg/1.5 mL versions all deliver up to 75 clicks or 75 doses depending on the dose setting.

How does the number of doses vary by dose size?

Each pen delivers 75 clicks. A 0.2 mg dose uses 1 click, a 0.4 mg dose uses 2 clicks, a 2 mg dose uses 10 clicks, a 2.5 mg dose uses 12 clicks, and a 2.8 mg dose uses 14 clicks. The number of doses you get from a single pen changes according to what your doctor prescribes.

What happens if the prescribed daily dose exceeds the volume in the pen?

If the daily dose exceeds the volume available, the remaining doses in the pen are limited by the 4 mL total volume. If you need 2.5 mg daily, you get 75 clicks but may finish the pen before 75 days if the volume runs out.

How does the Norditropin FlexPro pen work?

The FlexPro pen is a prefilled, multi-dose, multi-dose delivery device. It is designed to deliver accurate amounts of somatropin (growth hormone) from a glass cartridge inside the pen. The click mechanism lets you dial any dose between 0.2 mg and 4 mg in 0.2 mg increments.

What alternatives are available if the number of doses matters?

Other brands of somatropin offer different formats. Some grow hormone pens give fewer or larger single-use vials that may offer more planning certainty for patients and physicians. Some patients switch to daily injections using reconstituted vials rather than pen devices.

When does the Norditropin FlexPro patent expire?
