NovoLog (insulin aspart) is a type of man-made insulin that is used by patients around each of their meals to prevent their blood sugar from spiking. This medication is considered to be rapid-acting. It can be used for both adult and child patients who are struggling with diabetes. This medication may also be used alongside different long-acting insulins.

• This medication is used for fast-acting blood sugar control for adults and children.
• There are multiple options for forms of taking this medication.
• Simulated results showed that this medication improved overall and after-meal blood sugar levels across all age groups.
• NovoLog may be used for treating type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

NovoLog comes in a U-100 strength. It can be given to a patient by a NovoLog FlexPen or a NovoLog Echo. Patients can also take this medication using a vial or an insulin pump. It can also be used as a Penfill cartridge. This medication should be taken within five to 10 minutes before starting their meals. This medication may have varying doses between patients.

Patients using this medication may have to follow different instructions depending on the device they are using. Patients should:

• Take a look at the instructions on their medication and use their medication exactly as the instructions tell them
• Doses of this medication should be taken within five to 10 minutes before starting a meal
• Patients should also make sure to routinely monitor their blood sugar levels while taking this medication
• These devices should never be shared with another patient (even if the needle is changed)

Injection sites – in the upper arms, buttocks, or upper leg – should be rotated for each injection and areas that appear to have skin changes should not be used for the injection site location.

Patients using this medication should keep the related precautions in mind.

• Never share NovolLog needles or devices (even if the needle is changed) as it can lead to the spread of serious infections
• Changing insulin dose, brand/type, injection site, or delivery method can affect blood sugar levels
• Injecting repeatedly into damaged or thickened skin may cause high blood sugar and switching suddenly to healthy skin may cause low blood sugar.
• Make insulin changes only with medical guidance and monitor blood glucose more often
• Low blood sugar is the most common side effect and can be life-threatening
• Increase blood glucose monitoring when doses change or if kidney or liver disease is present.
• Always check the insulin label before injecting to avoid mix-ups
• NovoLog can lower potassium levels (which may be dangerous in some patients)
• Severe allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis) may occur
• Using NovoLog with TZD medications may cause fluid retention or worsen heart failure
• Insulin pump or infusion set failure can quickly lead to high blood sugar or ketoacidosis (pump users should know how to inject insulin and have backup insulin available)
• Some medications increase the risk of low blood sugar and medications may reduce NovoLog’s blood sugar-lowering effect (check with a doctor before combining any medications with NovoLog)
• Alcohol and certain drugs may either raise or lower blood sugar
• Some medications can hide warning signs of low blood sugar

Patients should let their doctor know of any issues in their family’s medical history and their own before starting the medication. They should also make them aware of any other medications they are using or plan to use.

Common Side Effects

The most commonly reported side effects for patients who are taking NovoLog are those such as:

• Decreased potassium levels in the bloodstream
• Irritation or reactions where the injection is given
• Increases in body weight
• Skin rashes or itching
• Swelling of the hands or feet
• Thickened skin at injection areas
• Indentations forming at injection sites
• System-wide reactions affecting the body

Severe Side Effects

Certain patients may experience severe side effects – including lncluding low blood sugar. The patient should seek out immediate medical attention if they are experiencing any issues such as:

• Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
• Accelerated heart rate
• Rash/itching
• Extreme fatigue
• Confusion
• Facial swelling
• Sweating
• Dizziness
• Tongue or throat swelling

Contact a healthcare provider if there are any concerns.

Serious side effects may occur from using more NovoLog than what is prescribed. This may include causing issues such as low blood sugar or low potassium. Patients should contact their doctor immediately if they believe that they have taken too much of the medication.

Patients who miss a dose of their medication should check their blood sugar level to see if they need a dose. This will determine if the missed dose should be taken or if the patient should just wait until their next scheduled dose. Talk with a doctor if unsure about whether or not the dose should be taken.

Unused pens/cartridges and vials may be stored at room temperature. This temperature can be no more than 86°F and the medication may only be used for up to 28 days. Unused pens and vials may also be kept in the refrigerator at 36°F to 46°F until the expiration date.

These devices can then be stored at room temperature (below 86°F) or in the refrigerator for up to 28 days after first use. They should still be kept out of any direct heat or sunlight. They should also be disposed of after 28 days (even if some insulin is still in the container).
