Lantus Solostar pens- can they be used with syringes?

I searched this online & it said 'no.'

But someone on this forum told me they can be?

The reason it's an issue is because the Lantus in the vials are always out of stock & I end up having to call around to find a pharmacy that has it. Evidently everyone uses the pens now. But I need to use the syringe to give the insulin. So can the syringe be inserted into the Solostar pens?
 
@soreto
You definitely want to keep the insulin in the fridge middle shelf


Just take the cap off the pen or cartridge and use a U100 syringes and pull the insulin out of the pen! You will see a small gray rubber stopper, insert the syringe there

That’s my question . ( since everywhere is out of the lantus ) my Vet suggested the solo star.
But in googling it I read do you still need to do 100 syringes because what are you using to inject the cat? There’s no syringe and it’s just rubber hole correct? I’m confused.
 
Please see my response to you on the Lantus forum - I pointed you to a Sticky Note that has pictures of how you use a syringe with the pens.
