  • The number for each option refers to the amount of insulin V-Go delivers at a continuous preset basal rate during a 24-hour period.
  • The amount of insulin available for on-demand bolus dosing with V-Go is the same (36 Units delivered in 2-Unit increments) for all three options.
  • V-Go must be filled completely with insulin to work properly.
  • A separate prescription for a U-100 fast-acting insulin is required for use with V-Go (2 vials for V-Go 20, 3 vials for V-Go 30 and V-Go 40).

Patients Starting V-Go Require 2 Prescriptions

When starting a patient on V-Go, 2 prescriptions are needed. Write 1 prescription for V-Go and another prescription for the U-100 fast-acting insulin. Two vials of insulin are required for V-Go 20, and 3 vials of insulin are required for V-Go 30 and V-Go 40.

*A U-100 fast-acting insulin should be used with V-Go. Humalog® (insulin lispro [rDNA origin] injection) and NovoLog® (insulin aspart [rDNA origin] injection) have been tested and found to be safe for use in V-Go.2
†Be sure to click Humalog® or NovoLog®. Click “unstructured” and type in the Sig, Disp, and Pharmacy Notes manually. Humalog® is a registered trademark of Eli Lilly and Company. NovoLog® is a registered trademark of Novo Nordisk A/S.

Important Risk Information

If regular adjustments or modifications to the basal rate of insulin are required in a 24-hour period, or if the amount of insulin used at meals requires adjustments of less than 2-Unit increments, use of the V-Go Wearable Insulin Delivery Device may result in hypoglycemia. The following conditions may occur during insulin therapy with V-Go: hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) or hyperglycemia (high blood glucose). Other adverse reactions associated with V-Go use include skin irritation from the adhesive pad or infections at the infusion site. V-Go should be removed before any magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) testing.
