Insulin Lispro Injection 100 units/mL logo

Insulin Lispro is Humalog® (insulin lispro). It can help control blood sugar spikes that happen after a meal.

Humalog and Insulin Lispro Injection are used to treat people with diabetes for the control of high blood sugar.

SELECT SAFETY INFORMATION

Warning - Do not take Humalog, Insulin Lispro Injection, Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, or Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 if you have:

  • symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
  • an allergy to insulin lispro products or any of their ingredients.
Insulin Lispro Injection 100 units/mL logo

Because it’s the same molecule as Humalog® (insulin lispro), Lilly's Insulin Lispro Injection U-100 helps control the blood sugar spikes that happen naturally when you eat. Lilly's Insulin Lispro Injection U-100 (a fast-acting insulin) works to manage those blood sugar spikes and may help keep your sugar levels in balance. Lilly's Insulin Lispro Injection U-100 is taken within 15 minutes before eating or right after eating a meal.

Insulin Lispro Injection is different than your long-acting insulin. Long-acting insulin helps control your blood sugar throughout the whole day. It's important to talk to your doctor about when and how often you should check your blood sugar levels.

SELECT SAFETY INFORMATION

Warning - Do not reuse needles or share your insulin injection supplies with other people. This includes your:

  • prefilled pen for use by a single patient
  • cartridges
  • reusable pen that works with Lilly 3 mL cartridges
  • needles
  • syringes

You or the other person can get a serious infection. This can happen even if you change the needle.

The Insulin Lispro Injection U-100 KwikPen is a small, lightweight pen that's prefilled with mealtime insulin. Since it shouldn't be refrigerated after the first use*, you can take it just about anywhere. You can carry it in a purse or slip it into a jacket or coat pocket. It's a good idea to always carry an extra pen.

For complete Instructions for Use of the Insulin Lispro Injection U-100 KwikPen, click here.

*Once you start using Insulin Lispro Injection U-100 KwikPen, it should be stored at room temperature, below 86˚F (30˚C), and must be used within 28 days or be discarded, even if it still contains Insulin Lispro Injection U-100.

SELECT SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not change the type of insulin you take or your dose, unless your doctor tells you to. This could cause low or high blood sugar, which could be serious. Do not inject your insulin into the exact same spot or where the skin has pit or lumps. Avoid injecting into thickened, tender, bruised, scaly, hard, scarred, or damaged skin.

Lilly’s Insulin Lispro Injection U-100 may be injected under your skin in the stomach area, the back of your upper arms, upper legs, or buttocks (see diagram). Never inject Lilly’s Insulin Lispro Injection U-100 into a muscle or vein. Ask your doctor for help determining the most appropriate injection sites for you.

Be sure to use a different injection site each time and do not overuse any site.

SELECT SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not use a syringe to remove Humalog from your prefilled pen. This can cause you to take too much insulin. Taking too much insulin can lead to severe low blood sugar. This may result in seizures or death.

INDICATIONS

Humalog® (HU-ma-log) and Insulin Lispro Injection are fast-acting insulins used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes.

  • Humalog comes in two strengths: U-100 (100 units per milliliter) and U-200 (200 units per milliliter). The Humalog U-200 prefilled pen contains 2 times as much insulin per 1 milliliter as standard (U-100) insulin. The dose window on the pen shows your insulin dose.
  • It is not known if Humalog or Insulin Lispro Injection are safe and effective for children with type 2 diabetes or for children younger than 3 years of age with type 1 diabetes. There were no studies done with these insulins in these groups of children. If your doctor decides to give your child one of these insulins, he or she may give you special instructions.

Humalog® Mix50/50™, Humalog®Mix75/25™, and Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 are mixed U-100 insulins. This means they contain a mix of fast-acting and intermediate-acting insulins. They are used to control high blood sugar in people with diabetes.

  • It is not known if Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, or Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 are safe and effective for children younger than 18 years of age. There were no studies done with these insulins in children younger than 18. If your doctor decides to give your child one of these insulins, he or she may give you special instructions.

Insulin Lispro products are Humalog. Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, and Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 contain insulin lispro protamine mixed with insulin lispro.

SAFETY SUMMARY

Warnings -

Do not take Humalog, Insulin Lispro Injection, Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, or Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 if you have:

  • symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
  • an allergy to insulin lispro products or any of their ingredients.

Do not reuse needles or share your insulin injection supplies with other people. This includes your:

  • prefilled pen for use by a single patient
  • cartridges
  • reusable pen that works with Lilly 3 mL cartridges
  • needles
  • syringes

You or the other person can get a serious infection. This can happen even if you change the needle.

Do not change the type of insulin you take or your dose, unless your doctor tells you to. This could cause low or high blood sugar, which could be serious.

Do not use a syringe to remove Humalog from your prefilled pen. This can cause you to take too much insulin. Taking too much insulin can lead to severe low blood sugar. This may result in seizures or death.

Humalog, Insulin Lispro Injection, Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, and Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 may cause serious side effects. Some of these can lead to death. The possible serious side effects are:

  • Low blood sugar. This can cause:
    • dizziness or light-headedness
    • headache
    • shakiness
    • irritability
    • sweating
    • blurred vision
    • fast heartbeat
    • mood change
    • confusion
    • slurred speech
    • anxiety
    • hunger
    If you are at risk of having severely low blood sugar, your doctor may prescribe a glucagon rescue medication. These are used when your blood sugar becomes too low and you are unable to take sugar by mouth. Glucagon helps your body release sugar into your bloodstream.
  • Severe allergic reaction.
    Get emergency help right away if you have:
    • a rash over your whole body
    • sweating
    • extreme drowsiness
    • swelling of your face, tongue, or throat
    • trouble breathing
    • a faint feeling
    • dizziness
    • a fast heartbeat
    • shortness of breath
    • confusion
  • Low potassium in your blood. This can lead to severe breathing problems, irregular heartbeat, and death.
  • Heart failure. Taking diabetes pills called thiazolidinediones (thIE-uh-zOH-li-dEEn-dIE-OHns), or "TZDs," with insulin lispro products may cause heart failure in some people. This includes people who do not have any heart problems. If you have heart failure, it may get worse if you take TZDs with these insulin lispro products. Tell your doctor if you have any new symptoms of heart failure, or if they get worse. Some symptoms of heart failure include: shortness of breath, swelling of ankles and feet, and sudden weight gain. Your doctor may need to change or stop treatment with TZDs and your insulin lispro product.
  • High blood sugar and ketoacidosis. You can have these serious problems when your insulin pump or infusion set stops working. They can also happen if your insulin is no longer effective. For these reasons, always keep extra insulin injection supplies with you.

Common side effects

The most common side effects of Humalog, Insulin Lispro Injection, Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, and Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 are:

  • low blood sugar
  • reactions where you have injected insulin
  • swelling of your hands or feet
  • itching
  • allergic reactions
  • changes in fat tissue where you have injected insulin
  • weight gain
  • rash

These are not all of the possible side effects. Tell your doctor if you have any side effects. You can report side effects at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

Before using

Talk with your doctor about low blood sugar and how to manage it. Also tell your doctor:

  • about all of the medicines you take, including over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
  • about any other prescription medicines you take, especially ones called TZDs.
  • about all of your medical conditions, including if you have heart failure or other heart, liver, or kidney problems.
  • if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed.

How to take

Read the Instructions for Use that come with your Humalog, Insulin Lispro Injection, Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, or Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25. Be sure to take your insulin lispro product and check your blood sugar levels exactly as your doctor tells you to. Your doctor may tell you to change your dose because of illness, increased stress, or changes in your weight, diet, or physical activity level. He or she may also tell you to change the amount or time of your dose because of other medicines or different types of insulin you take.

Before injecting your insulin lispro product

You can inject your insulin dose yourself, or you can have a trained caregiver inject it for you. Make sure you or your caregiver:

  • Check the insulin label before each injection. This will help you make sure that you are taking the correct insulin.
  • Use a new needle for each injection. You can get a serious infection or the wrong dose of insulin if you re-use needles.
  • Change (rotate) where you inject your insulin with each dose. This can reduce your chance of getting pits, lumps, or thickened skin where you inject your insulin. Do not inject your insulin into the exact same spot or where the skin has pits or lumps. Avoid injecting into thickened, tender, bruised, scaly, hard, scarred, or damaged skin.

When you are ready to inject

  • If you are taking Humalog or Insulin Lispro Injection, inject it under your skin within 15 minutes before or right after you eat a meal.
  • If you are taking Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, or Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25, inject it under your skin within 15 minutes before you eat a meal.

Staying safe while taking your insulin lispro product

To stay safe while taking your insulin, be sure to never inject Humalog U-200, Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, or Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 in your vein, muscle, or with an insulin pump. Also be sure not to:

  • mix Humalog U-200, Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, or Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 with other insulins or liquids.
  • drive or use heavy machinery until you know how your insulin lispro product affects you.
