4. Distribution: Vd: 0.1 L/kg; Protein binding: >98%
5. Bioavailability: 60%
6. Half-life elimination: 5 to 7 hours

Should be used cautiously, due to lack of human safety information
General dose:
SUBQ 10 units or 0.1 to 0.2 units/kg once daily in the evening or in 2 divided doses daily For hypoglycemia:
Consider decreasing daily dose by 10% to 20%; for severe hypoglycemia, consider reducing dose by 20% to 50% For persistently elevated fasting plasma glucose:
Increase daily dose by 2 to 4 units or by 10% to 20% every 2 to 3 days to achieve target

安定性
1. Store unused Levemir FlexPen in a refrigerator.
2. After starting to use insulin, do not refrigerate Levemir FlexPen; However, keep them as cool as possible(30°C↓). Keep it away from heat and direct sunlight.
3. Once in use, Levemir FlexPen may be used for up to 42 days without refrigeration.
4. 不相容性:有些物質加入Levemir會造成insulin detemir分解,例如:含硫(thiols)或亞硫酸鹽(sulfites)的藥品。
Levemir不應加入點滴輸注液。絕不可與其他藥品混合使用。
