Admelog Dosage

Subcutaneous Injection

• Administer the dose of ADMELOG within fifteen minutes before a meal or immediately after a meal.
• ADMELOG administered by subcutaneous injection should generally be used in regimens with intermediate or long-acting insulin.
• ADMELOG should be administered by subcutaneous injection in the abdominal wall, thigh, upper arm, or buttocks. Rotate injection site within the same region (abdomen, thigh, upper arm, or buttocks) from one injection to the next to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy and localized cutaneous amyloidosis. Do not inject into areas of lipodystrophy or localized cutaneous amyloidosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2), Adverse Reactions (6)].
• During changes to a patient's insulin regimen, increase the frequency of blood glucose monitoring [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
• The ADMELOG SoloStar prefilled pen dials in 1-unit increments.

Continuous Subcutaneous Infusion (Insulin Pump)

• Administer ADMELOG by continuous subcutaneous infusion in a region recommended in the instructions from the pump manufacturer. Rotate infusion sites within the same region to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy and localized cutaneous amyloidosis. Do not inject into areas of lipodystrophy or localized cutaneous amyloidosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2), Adverse Reactions (6)].
• During changes to a patient's insulin regimen, increase the frequency of blood glucose monitoring [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
• Follow healthcare provider recommendations when setting basal and mealtime infusion rate.
• Do NOT dilute or mix ADMELOG when administering by continuous subcutaneous infusion.
• Change ADMELOG in the pump reservoir at least every 7 days.
• Change the infusion sets and the infusion set insertion site at least every 3 days.
• Do NOT expose ADMELOG in the pump reservoir to temperatures greater than 98.6°F (37°C).
• Use ADMELOG in accordance with the insulin infusion pump systems instructions for use. See the insulin infusion pump system labeling to determine if ADMELOG can be used with the pump system.

Intravenous Administration

• Dilute ADMELOG to concentrations from 0.1 unit/mL to 1 unit/mL using 0.9% sodium chloride.
• Administer ADMELOG intravenously ONLY under medical supervision with close monitoring of blood glucose and potassium levels to avoid hypoglycemia and hypokalemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3, 5.6) and How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16.4)].
