Admelog Overview

Admelog is a prescription medication to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes for patients 3 years and older. Admelog is a rapid-acting form of insulin that is given with a meal.

Insulin is naturally produced by the body to control the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood. In patients with type 1 diabetes, the body does not make insulin and must be replaced by injections of insulin. In patients with type 2 diabetes, the body makes insulin but does not use it efficiently or appropriately.

This medication comes in an injectable form available in vials and prefilled pens. Admelog should be injected just under the skin 15 minutes before a meal or immediately after a meal. It may also be injected by an insulin pump or directly into a vein (IV) by a healthcare provider.

Common side effects of Admelog include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and allergic reaction. Admelog can also cause drowsiness and dizziness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Admelog affects you.
