Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
AFREZZA (inhaled insulin) is prescribed to patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 and type 2. AFREZZA helps to treat high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) and improve glycemic control.
AFREZZA is a unique insulin product that is ultra rapid-acting and administered with an inhaler. The insulin is delivered via the lungs and lowers blood sugar to normal levels in about the same time as other mealtime insulin products.
Inhale the contents of the cartridges(s) one to three times daily with meals. Use the AFREZZA inhaler and inhale the contents using a single inhalation.
The dose of AFREZZA insulin may be different at each meal and is based on blood sugar readings. The doctor will determine the dose using these readings.
AFREZZA cartridges are available in 4 unit and 8 unit cartridges.
Store AFREZZA cartridges refrigerated or at room temperature 2-25ºC (36-77ºF). Bring the cartridges to room temperature for 10 minutes before use.
The active ingredient in AFREZZA is human insulin.
People with diabetes mellitus should use caution when they start taking new medications. Some medications can increase or decrease blood sugar. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following:
AFREZZA is contraindicated for people with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Before prescribing AFREZZA, your doctor will test your lung function to make sure it is safe for you to use.
Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus cannot use AFREZZA alone and must also use basal insulin.
Do not use AFREZZA if you smoke.
Do not use AFREZZA to treat diabetic ketoacidosis.
Monitor blood sugar frequently when using any drug regimen with insulin.
The most common adverse effects of AFREZZA may include:
