Question
My doctor wrote a prescription for
Lantus
insulin using a pen as the injector. The pharmacist said he can't get the pen; only a doctor can. So I'm confused. Do you know how I can get the pen I need?
Answer
These pens have been in short supply.
If neither your physician nor pharmacist can help, I'd suggest you contact the manufacturer.
From the Lantus website:
Q:
