Admelog (Insulin Lispro)

What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

    Description

    ADMELOG is a prescription medication used to treat high blood sugar in patients with diabetes. It should be used in combination with diet, exercise, blood sugar monitoring, and other drugs as needed.

    Patients with diabetes mellitus have abnormally high blood sugar. High blood sugar can cause damage to small blood vessels of the eyes, feet, and kidneys. Maintaining a normal blood sugar level is critical for healthy diabetes treatment.

    Directions

    Administer ADMELOG via subcutaneous injection 15 minutes before a meal or immediately after. Your doctor may have you use ADMELOG between one and three times daily, depending on your blood glucose.

    Your doctor determines the dose of ADMELOG. Do not adjust the dose without consulting with them.

    Ingredients

    The active ingredient in ADMELOG insulin is insulin lispro.

    Insulin lispro is a rapid-acting medication that begins working in about 15 minutes. It is used as"meal-time" insulin.

    Interactions

    The following medications may interact with ADMELOG insulin:

    • Blood pressure medications
    • Corticosteroids
    • Estrogens
    • Isoniazid
    • Mono-amine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
    • Niacin
    • Oral antidiabetic agents
    • Oral contraceptives
    • Phenothiazines
    • Salicylates
    • Sulfa antibiotics
    • Thyroid replacement medication

    Speak with your doctor or pharmacist about all of the medications you take before starting insulin. Some medications can affect blood sugar, meaning the dose of insulin will need to be adjusted. Other medications can mask the symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can be life-threatening.

    Cautions

    If you are using a type of antidiabetic medication thiazolidinedione along with insulin, your doctor will monitor you for signs of heart failure.

    Changes in meal patterns or physical activity may affect blood glucose, so it should be monitored frequently with a glucometer.

    Liver or kidney problems can affect ADMELOG insulin and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

    • Allergic reactions
    • Hypoglycemia
    • Injection site reactions
    • Lipodystrophy
    • Pruritis
    • Rash

    Hypoglycemia can be life-threatening, so it is important to know the signs. Common signs of hypoglycemia include:

    • Anxiety
    • Confusion
    • Dizziness
    • Fatigue
    • Hunger
    • Irritability
    • Pale skin
