Generic Name: Insulin Lispro Functional Classification:
Trade Name: HumaL OG Antidiabetic, pancreatic hormone
Uses: Mechanism of Action: (How does it work?)
Type 1 diabetes mellitus, type 2 diabetes mellitus, gestational Decreases blood glucose; by transport of glucose into cells
diabetes; insulin lispro may be used in combination with and the conversion of glucose to glycogen, indirectly
sulfonylureas in children >3 years old increases blood pyruvate and lactate, decreases phosphate
and potassium; insulin may be human (processed by
recombinant DNA technologies)
Route of Administration and Dosage:
Adult/adolescent/child ≥3 yr: SUBCUT 15 min before meals; CONT SUBCUT INFUSION
(external insulin pump): total daily dose should be based on insulin dose from previous regimen,
50% of total dose can be given as meal-related boluses, remainder as basal infusion; intermittent
SUBCUT (Lyumjev)
