10/16 JADA Generic Insulin?

I usually buy Lantus for the kitty at around $300 a vial. Now most discount cards specifically state "NOT FOR PETS".

Has anyone used the Generic version successfully? Its 1/3 the cost.
 
I have been using basaglar for a few months and haven't noticed a difference from lantus at all. Perfectly good product. I read that is was originally being created as the generic form of lantus. However, once they were ready to bring to market company decided to just market it as their own brand instead.

The 5 pens will last about a year





I see some members will call CVS, Rite Aid, Costco, Walgreen's, to get the price for 5 pens

You will need U-100 syringes with half unit markings for lantus , just insert the syringe into the pen and draw out the insulin.
13.47 for a box of 100 Here is the link to buy them from
If they say you need a script from you vet they will call the vet to fax it over 'ask for refills and give your vets office a heads up . I know that some member didn't need a script at all ,I did I live in N.J. So I guess it depends on where you live

We use the pens just like a vial , just stick the syringe in the gray rubber stopper and draw out your insulin
Just take the cap off the pen and use a U100 syringes and pull the insulin out of the pen!

. I paid $175 for a box of 5 pens at Walmart pharmacy, but GoodRX coupon says you can get it for around $90 if you have a Rite Aid pharmacy near you.

The reason we don't use the needles that would go in the pens is because you can only dial the pens by whole units
With the U-100 syringes with half unit markings we can adjust by 0.25 units at a time
