Admelog
Admelog is a rapid-acting insulin analog used to control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes mellitus, including both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I miss a dose of Admelog?
If you miss a dose of Admelog before a meal, check your blood sugar and consult your healthcare provider for guidance. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
Can I take Admelog with food?
Yes, Admelog is typically taken shortly before meals to manage blood sugar spikes. In some cases, it may be taken after meals if directed by your healthcare provider.
How quickly does Admelog start working?
Admelog starts lowering blood sugar within 15 minutes of injection and has its peak effect about 1-2 hours after dosing. It lasts in the body for 2-4 hours.
Can Admelog be used in combination with other insulins?
Yes, Admelog is often used with longer-acting insulins, such as insulin glargine, to provide comprehensive blood sugar control throughout the day.
What happens if I experience low blood sugar while using Admelog?
If you experience symptoms of low blood sugar (dizziness, sweating, shakiness), quickly consume a fast-acting source of sugar, such as fruit juice, and monitor your blood sugar levels. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for managing hypoglycemia.
Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Admelog Work?
Admelog is a rapid-acting insulin that begins working within 15 minutes after injection. It helps lower blood sugar by facilitating the uptake of glucose into the cells of the body, especially after meals, to maintain normal blood sugar levels. It mimics the body’s natural insulin response to food.
Common Dosages
- Vials: 100 units/mL
- Cartridges: 100 units/mL
- Pre-filled pens (Admelog SoloStar): 100 units/mL
Typical Dosing
- The dose of Admelog is individualized based on the patient’s needs, blood sugar levels, and response to insulin. It is typically injected 15 minutes before a meal or immediately after eating. Admelog is used in combination with a long-acting insulin or oral diabetes medications to maintain overall blood sugar control.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Managing blood sugar levels in adults and children with type 1 diabetes.
- Controlling blood sugar spikes in adults with type 2 diabetes, particularly around meals.
Who Shouldn't Take Admelog?
- If you are allergic to insulin lispro (the active ingredient in Admelog) or any other components of the medication.
- During episodes of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Administer Admelog via subcutaneous injection in areas like the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate injection sites to prevent skin irritation or fat tissue changes.
- Check your blood sugar regularly, as Admelog is a rapid-acting insulin and can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) if not balanced with food intake.
- Store unopened Admelog in the refrigerator. Once opened, it can be stored at room temperature for up to 28 days.
Side Effects of Admelog
Common Side Effects
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
- Injection site reactions (redness, swelling, or itching)
- Weight gain
Uncommon/Severe Side Effects
- Severe hypoglycemia (may cause seizures or unconsciousness)
- Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing)
Risks and Warnings of Admelog
- Hypoglycemia: Admelog can cause dangerously low blood sugar levels, especially if meals are skipped or exercise is excessive. Always carry a source of sugar, such as glucose tablets, in case of hypoglycemia.
- Potassium Imbalance: Insulin therapy may cause low potassium levels (hypokalemia), leading to possible heart issues if not monitored.
Interactions with Admelog
Common Drug Interactions
- Oral diabetes medications: When used with metformin or other oral diabetes drugs, Admelog may increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
- Beta-blockers: These may mask the symptoms of low blood sugar, making it harder to recognize a hypoglycemic episode.
- Alcohol: Alcohol can increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Limit or avoid alcohol use while on Admelog.
Alternatives to Admelog
- Humalog (insulin lispro)
- Novolog (insulin aspart)
- Apidra (insulin glulisine)
- Fiasp (faster-acting insulin aspart)
