An injection pen is also known as a medication pen. These pens are designed to make injecting medication easier and more convenient, thus improving patient adherence.
Some common examples of medication pens include:
- Insulin pens: These pens are used to deliver insulin to people with diabetes.
- Epinephrine pens: These pens are used to treat severe allergic reactions, such as anaphylaxis.
- Glucagon pens: These pens are used to treat very low blood sugar (severe hypoglycemia).
- Smart insulin pens: These pens are digital and connected to the internet, allowing them to automatically send information about the time and amount of insulin delivered.
