Insulin glulisine, sold under the brand name Apidra, is a rapid acting insulin used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes.[2] It is given by injection under the skin between 15 minutes before to 20 minutes after starting a meal.[2] It may also be used by injection into a vein.[3] It is generally used with a long acting insulin.[2]
Common side effects include low blood sugar and pain at the site of injection.[4][2] Other side effects may include allergic reactions, low potassium, and lipodystrophy.[2] It is made by recombinant DNA techniques.[4]
Insulin glulisine was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2004.[2][4] In the United Kingdom 300 units costs the NHS about £6 as of 2021.[5] In the United States this amount costs just over 100 USD.[6]
