Fiasp
Fiasp (generic name: insulin aspart) is a fast-acting insulin used to improve blood sugar control in adults and children with diabetes mellitus, including type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. It works by helping glucose get into cells, lowering blood sugar levels after meals. Fiasp is specifically designed to be faster than regular insulin aspart, making it ideal for post-meal blood sugar spikes.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Fiasp Work?
Fiasp works by providing insulin aspart, which helps glucose enter cells to be used as energy. This lowers blood sugar levels after meals. Compared to regular insulin, Fiasp has faster absorption, helping control postprandial hyperglycemia (blood sugar spikes after meals).
Common Dosages
- Vials: 10 mL (100 units/mL)
- FlexTouch pens: 3 mL (100 units/mL)
- Cartridges: 3 mL for use in pumps
Typical Dosing
- Fiasp should be injected immediately before meals or within 20 minutes after starting a meal. The dose is individualized based on blood sugar levels and carbohydrate intake.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Type 1 diabetes
- Type 2 diabetes in adults and children
Who Shouldn't Take Fiasp?
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
- Known allergy to insulin aspart or any of its components
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Fiasp should be injected subcutaneously in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
- Rotate injection sites to avoid lipodystrophy (fat deposits under the skin).
- Always carry a source of fast-acting carbohydrates (e.g., glucose tablets) in case of hypoglycemia.
- Store unopened Fiasp in the refrigerator. Once opened, it can be kept at room temperature for up to 28 days.
Side Effects of Fiasp
Common Side Effects
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
- Injection site reactions (redness, swelling, or itching)
Uncommon/Severe Side Effects

Risks and Warnings of Fiasp
- Hypoglycemia: Fiasp can cause low blood sugar, which may be dangerous. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include dizziness, sweating, shakiness, and confusion.
- Allergic Reactions: In rare cases, insulin can cause serious allergic reactions. Seek medical help if you experience hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling.

Common Drug Interactions
- Beta-blockers: These may mask symptoms of hypoglycemia.
- Alcohol: Drinking alcohol can increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Alternatives to Fiasp
- Humalog (insulin lispro): Another rapid-acting insulin used for postprandial blood sugar control.
