FAQ

Can I use this U-40 syringe with U-100 human insulin?

No. The U-40 syringe is calibrated for a concentration of 40 IU/ml. Using it with U-100 insulin would cause a serious overdose. Always use the syringe that corresponds to the insulin concentration prescribed by your veterinarian.

How do I know how many units I should load?

The exact dose (in international units, IU) must be prescribed exclusively by your veterinarian, based on your pet's weight and glucose levels. The syringe has markings to facilitate measuring, but the dosage is clinically determined.

Is it normal for a small air bubble to remain in the syringe?

Yes, that's normal. A small bubble (less than 0,1 ml) poses no risk to your pet's health during a subcutaneous injection. However, for greater accuracy, you can gently tap the cylinder to expel any air before injecting.

How long does a syringe last and how should it be stored?

Each syringe is for single use only and must be discarded after administration. Unused syringes should be stored in their original packaging in a clean, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C), protected from direct sunlight and moisture.

Can I reuse the same syringe for different doses on the same day?

No. Reusing syringes increases the risk of infection, pain, and damage to subcutaneous tissue, and the needle becomes dull. Each injection requires a new, sterile syringe.

This product requires a veterinary prescription. Consult your veterinarian.
