NovoPen® 6
NovoPen® 6 allows you to dial required doses up to 60 units in 1-unit increments.

NovoPen Echo® Plus
NovoPen Echo® Plus allows you to dial required doses up to 30 units in 0.5-unit increments.
These images are a representation only and do not reflect the actual size of the pen.
NovoPen® 6 and NovoPen Echo® Plus are only compatible with Novo Nordisk insulins in Penfill® 3 ml cartridges and are available in two different colours, so you can use a different colour pen if you use more than one type of insulin.
This website provides information, instructions for use and some things to remember when using your NovoPen® 6 and NovoPen Echo® Plus.
NovoPen® 6 and NovoPen Echo® Plus are designed to be used with NovoFine® single-use disposable needles. Please make sure that you have needles available before you inject your insulin. Never store your pen with the needle attached.
Always dispose of the needle immediately after each injection using a sharps bin. Never store your pen with the needle attached. Keep your sharps bin in a safe place so it’s not a risk to other people and is out of the sight and reach of children. Sharps bins must not be disposed of in household waste. Discuss with your healthcare professional the procedure for disposing of sharps bins in your area.
