Humalog Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC)
The pharmacokinetics of Humalog Mix are representative of the individual pharmacokinetic property of the two components
The
pharmacokinetics of insulin lispro reflect a compound that is rapidly
absorbed and achieves peak blood levels 30 to 70 minutes following
subcutaneous injection. The pharmacokinetics of insulin lispro
protamine suspension are consistent with those of an intermediate
acting insulin such as NPH. The pharmacokinetics of Humalog Mix25 and
Humalog Mix50 are representative of the individual pharmacokinetic
properties of the two components. When considering the clinical
relevance of these kinetics, it is more appropriate to examine the
glucose utilisation curves.
Insulin
lispro maintains more rapid absorption when compared to soluble human
insulin in patients with renal impairment. In patients with type 2
diabetes over a wide range of renal function the pharmacokinetic
differences between insulin lispro and soluble human insulin were
generally maintained and shown to be independent of renal function.
Insulin lispro maintains more rapid absorption and elimination when
compared to soluble human insulin in patients with hepatic
impairment.
