WHAT LIPROLOG IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Liprolog is used to treat diabetes. Liprolog works more quickly than
normal human insulin because
the insulin molecule has been changed slightly.
You get diabetes if your pancreas does not make enough insulin to
control the level of glucose in your
blood. Liprolog is a substitute for your own insulin and is used to
control glucose in the long term. It
works very quickly and lasts a shorter time than soluble insulin (2 to
5 hours). You should normally
use Liprolog within 15 minutes of a meal.
Your doctor may tell you to use Liprolog as well as a longer-acting
insulin. Each kind of insulin
comes with another patient information leaflet to tell you about it.
Do not change your insulin unless
your doctor tells you to. Be very careful if you do change insulin.
Liprolog is suitable for use in adults and children.

Liprolog takes effect rapidly and has a shorter duration of activity
(2 to 5 hours) given subcutaneously
as compared with soluble insulin. This rapid onset of activity allows
a Liprolog injection (or, in the
case of administration by continuous subcutaneous infusion, a Liprolog
bolus) to be given very close
to
