![]() ![]() ![]() Humalog Junior KwikPen enables finer dose adjustment (0.5 vs 1 unit dose increments) for people who take relatively small doses (≤30 units at mealtimes) of Humalog ® U-100 (insulin lispro injection 100 units/mL). Humalog Junior KwikPen offers fine-tuned dosing in a convenient prefilled disposable pen. Until now, the only way to deliver half units of insulin with a pen was through a reusable pen, which requires users to remove and load cartridges. Humalog Junior KwikPen, which is lighter and shorter than other half-unit insulin pens, provides an option for people who prefer a prefilled pen and need the precision of half-unit dosing, such as those with insulin sensitivity and some older adults for whom rounding to the nearest whole-unit dose is not adequate. Because it is prefilled, there are fewer steps for people to learn, and the half-unit increments make dosing more precise." "We hope to help take away some of the worries about the injection process with Humalog Junior KwikPen. People often feel shock and anxiety, and may struggle with the reality of fitting diabetes into daily life," said Sherry Martin, M.D., vice president, Global Medical Affairs, Lilly Diabetes. "Learning how to inject insulin can be overwhelming, especially for newly diagnosed children and their caregivers. In September 2017, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) issued a positive opinion for Humalog Junior KwikPen in the European Union and is pending final approval, expected later this year. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA) approved Humalog Junior KwikPen for the treatment of diabetes. Humalog Junior KwikPen is the only prefilled, disposable half-unit insulin pen. This innovation is the latest in the treatment and delivery options Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) offers for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Humalog ® Junior KwikPen ® is now available by prescription for the treatment of diabetes in the U.S. ![]()
