Insulin Aspart (Novolog) Pharmacology Podcast Episode 312




Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals show

Summary: On this podcast episode, I discuss insulin aspart pharmacology, adverse effects, drug interactions, and much more. <br> <br> <br> <br> Insulin apart is a rapid acting insulin product meant to bring down blood sugars quickly (most often after meals). <br> <br> <br> <br> It is important to remember a couple of medications that may counteract the effects of insulin and apart and raise blood sugar. I talk about corticosteroids and thiazide diuretics in the drug interaction section. <br> <br> <br> <br> Fiasp is a slightly modified insulin aspart molecule that allows for quicker absorption. This quicker absorption will allow for blood sugars to come down sooner than the Novolog formulation.
