Description
Humalog® (insulin lispro) 100units/ml 10ml vials are out of stock with an estimated resupply date of late May 2024.
NovoRapid® and Trurapi® (insulin aspart) 100units/ml 10ml vials remain available.
Admelog® and Lyumjev® (insulin lispro) 100units/ml 10ml vials remain available, however cannot support an increase in demand.
Fiasp® (insulin aspart) 100units/ml 10ml vials remain available, however cannot support an increase in demand.
Humalog® 100units/ml 3ml cartridges and Humalog KwikPen® and Junior KwikPen® 100 units/ml 3ml pre-filled pens remain available and can support increased demand.
This MSAN is the first of two covering supply issues with insulin vials. The second MSAN for Humulin® S vials will be issued shortly but should be noted that as the products have similar sounding names appropriate risk minimisation strategies should be implemented to ensure actions are carried out for specific products.
