Lyumjev (Insulin)
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.

LYUMJEV (Insulin aspart) is a prescription insulin product that can treat high blood sugar in people with diabetes mellitus. LYUMJEV is indicated to treat both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
People with diabetes are not able to regulate their levels of blood glucose. They either (1) cannot produce enough insulin from their pancreas, or (2) they can produce insulin, but their body is resistant to it.
LYUMJEV replaces the missing insulin and helps to improve glycemic control.
Directions
Inject LYUMJEV subcutaneously at mealtime, between one and three times daily.
LYUMJEV is rapid-acting insulin and should be taking at the start of a meal or within 20 minutes after starting the meal.
Rotate injection sites to decrease the risk of lipodystrophy.
Store LYUMJEV in the refrigerator until opening. Once opened, it can be stored at room temperature for 28 days.
