Braun 4mm Omnican fine needles

[petepontiac]

Is anyone else experiencing needles that do not tighten properly onto their pen.
I have had more and more that just click and when I take the cover off they are not tight. Apidra and lantus pens.

Never used them, but after a quick scan on the forum it would seem like they come with some negative experiences; similar to yours:

Thanks Grant, I mentioned this issue to the chemist and his reply was "don't worry there is 100 in the box"

I would request that you have your prescription changed to a reputable brand such as BD. I've had no issues with their micro-fine needles.

At the bottom of the below link you will fine the PIP codes for the pen needles (different depending on the length you need). A quick call to your GP centre, quoting the name and PIP code of the needles you'd like should allow this to be changed on your prescription without trouble.

If there's an issue with changing your needles, argue your case and explain that the product is causing you grief. The difference in cost between these and Omnican's product should be negligible:
