Terms & Conditions of Program
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.
APIDRA insulin is a prescription medication used to treat high blood sugar in patients with diabetes. People with diabetes have abnormally high and sometimes abnormally low blood sugar because they cannot regulate it normally.
High blood sugar can cause long-term damage to the eyes, feet, and kidneys. It can also cause damage to other organs. APIDRA and other insulin products help to lower blood sugar to normal levels.
APIDRA insulin is injected under the skin 15 minutes before a meal or within 20 minutes after.
The dose of APIDRA is different for each person. Take APIDRA exactly as prescribed by your doctor. They may ask you to take a fixed dose every day or to adjust your insulin dose based on your blood sugar readings.
The active ingredient in APIDRA is insulin glulisine.
Insulin glulisine is a rapid-acting insulin product taken with meals. It is taken between one and three times daily.
Many different types of medications can affect blood sugar for diabetic patients. If these medications are taken along with insulin the dose of insulin may need to be adjusted. Examples include:
The risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is higher when using insulin to treat diabetes. It is important to become familiar with the signs of hypoglycemia because it can be life-threatening.
Tell your doctor about any changes to diet or exercise, as these factors can affect your blood sugar.
Liver and kidney problems can affect insulin metabolism. Tell your doctor if you have a history of liver or kidney problems.
Common side effects from APIDRA insulin can include:
