Humalog Mix 25
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.

Contraindications

Cautions
- Low blood sugar is the most common side effect of insulin. Blood glucose monitoring is recommended for all diabetic patients. Low blood sugar that is not treated can cause unconsciousness, coma, or even death.
- Humalog Mix25 is different from other insulins and works quickly; therefore, it should be administered within 15 minutes before a meal.
- Humalog Mix25 appears as a white suspension and should be given by subcutaneous injection only. Humalog Mix25 should not be given intravenously.
- Any change of insulin regimen should be made with caution and under medical supervision. Purity, strength, brand, type, species, and/or method of manufacture changes may result in the need for a dose change.
- Mixing Humalog Mix25 with other insulins is not recommended.
- Patients using Humalog Mix25 may need a dose adjustment.
- Before you begin using Humalog Mix25, inform your doctor of:
- All the prescription and nonprescription medications you take
- Your allergies
- Your current health conditions and past medical history
- Your pregnancy or breastfeeding status
- Diabetic acidosis and coma can occur if your body doesn’t have enough insulin.
- Depression in the skin, thickening of tissue, or skin lumps can occur with the subcutaneous administration of insulin. Tell your doctor right away if you develop any of these effects.
Side Effects
Low blood sugar and redness, swelling, and itching at the injection site are possible side effects that can occur; however, other side effects may also occur. Contact your doctor right away if you have side effects that bother you or won’t go away.
