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.

HUMALOG mix 75/25 is a prescription medication used to treat diabetes mellitus. It can be used for the treatment of either type 1 diabetes mellitus or type 2 diabetes mellitus.
People with diabetes have blood sugar that is too high. Insulin helps to lower and correct blood sugar to normal levels.
Directions
The dose of insulin HUMALOG 75/25 is dosed based on the individual. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor may have you take a set dose every day or may have you adjust your dose based on your blood sugar levels.
Ingredients
HUMALOG 75/25 contains a mixture of a rapid-acting insulin and intermediate-acting insulin.
Insulin lispro is a rapid-acting insulin that begins working in about 15 minutes. While taking rapid-acting insulin products, it is essential not to skip meals, or you may experience low blood sugar.
Insulin lispro protamine suspension is an intermediate-acting insulin. It begins working in about 1 hour and lasts for 12 hours. This insulin makes up 75% of HUMALOG 75/25. This insulin mixture provides around-the-clock coverage for high blood sugar.
