Lilly Announces Launch of Color Differentiation System for Humalog(R) and Humulin(R) U-100 Insulin Products in the United States

Date:10/27/2008

rentiation of insulin is not a substitute for reading the label carefully before using insulin."

The first device to be packaged in accordance with the new color differentiation system is Humalog(R) KwikPen(R), an insulin pen prefilled with the Humalog brand of insulins. Humalog KwikPen is designed to be convenient, easy to use and discreet, and its design can help fit a mealtime insulin, such as Humalog, into the daily lives and routines of people with diabetes. The Humalog brand of insulins is indicated for use in patients with diabetes to control high blood sugar. Humalog should be used with longer-acting insulin, except when used in combination with sulfonylureas in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Color differentiation of other Humalog and Humulin U-100 products, including vials, is being introduced throughout 2008. Colors indicate both insulin family and insulin type: burgundy for the Humalog family, blue for the Humulin family, and yellow for Regular insulin. For example, a blue-yellow combination would indicate Humulin-R. Insulin mixes will also be addressed with a two-color system. The products will be differentiated by the following colors:

Humalog (insulin lispro injection [rDNA origin]) = burgundy

Humalog Mix75/25 (75% insulin lispro protamine suspension, 25% insulin lispro injection [rDNA origin]) = burgundy and yellow

Humalog Mix50/50 (50% insulin lispro protamine suspension, 50% insulin lispro injection [rDNA origin]) = burgundy and red
Humulin 70/30 = dark blue and brown

Humulin R = dark blue and light yellow

Humulin N = dark blue and bright green
