The active substance is insulin lispro. Insulin lispro is made in the laboratory by a 'recombinant DNA technology' process. It is a changed form of human insulin and so is different from other human and animal insulins. Insulin lispro is closely related to human insulin, which is a natural hormone made by the pancreas.
Excipients/Inactive Ingredients: m-Cresol [3.15 mg/ml], Glycerol, Dibasic sodium phosphate·7H2O, Zinc oxide and Water for injections. Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide may be used to adjust pH to 7.0-7.8.
