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.
Hypurin R is a short-acting insulin for pets and is the pet insulin equivalent of Humulin R or Novolin R for human insulin. It is effective for pet blood sugar control with dog diabetes or cat diabetes and is administered as an injection in the same way those two medications are for humans. Insulin regular is standard as a short-acting insulin, and it works fast for immediate blood glucose control after eating meals. The Hypurin regular injection may be prescribed for dogs or cats, and with every-meal daily dosing it has a peak of 2 to 3 hours and duration of 3 to 6 hours.
You can buy Hypurin regular for pets with a veterinarian’s prescription, and your best Hypurin regular price will be when you order medication online from us.
Standard insulin injection sites for pets are the loose skin just above the shoulder blades or around the flank or belly of the animal. Your veterinarian will discuss this with you and in most instances they will make sure you are entirely clear on which injection site you should use with your pet.
Always follow injection instructions as provided with your pet insulin and prescription, but standard guidelines for giving your pet an insulin injection are as follows:
Gently lift and pinch the skin into an inverted V shape. This may be referred to as a ‘skin tent’
Remove needle guard on pet insulin injection
Holding needle steady, pierce the skin tent with the needle but refrain from pushing it deeply into the skin - at this point you are only piercing the skin and holding the needle in place there
Now push down gently until the needle is just under the layer of subcutaneous fat. Pull back on the needle plunger gently, and if the syringe does not fill with blood then you can go ahead with the injection
Push the plunger down to inject the medication, making sure that all of the Hypurin isophane injection is delivered. Then withdraw the needle and replace the needle guard.
The active ingredient in Hypurin R for pets is insulin regular
Inform your veterinarian if your dog or cat has any history of liver or kidney disease, insulin resistance, steroid or hormone therapy, or bleeding disorders / excessive bleeding before beginning on Hypurin R for pets
Pets that are pregnant may not be approved for using this medication
Changing exact injection site with each injection is advised to lower the chance of lipodystrophy at injection site
Keep Hypurin R for pets stored at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C) or at room temperature below 86°F (30°C) as indicated in your prescription. Keep opened vials stored at a temperature less than 77°F (25°C), but any unused vials must be disposed of after 42 days.
Negative drug interactions between Hypurin R pet insulin and other Rx or OTC pet medications are possible, and it is always best to inform your veterinarian of all medications your pet is currently taking before getting a prescription and proceeding to buy Hypurin regular for pets online
Hypurin regular side effects are possible, and some dogs and cats may have rashes, lumps, weight gain, mood swings, muscle pain, weakness, or eyesight issues. If Hypurin regular side effects are experienced by the pet it may be best to discontinue use and talk to a veterinarian again about pet insulin injection options.
