Note that some countries have the brand name in U40 strength. | ||
North American brand name for Eli Lilly's now discontinued [3][4][5] 100% U100 porcine R/neutral, soluble insulin.
Like all R or neutral insulins, nothing is added (suspensions) to alter the insulin's action or speed. [6]
Novo Nordisk produced a similar Pork Actrapid, [7][8] but discontinued it at the end of December 2007. [9]
CP Pharma--Hypurin Porcine Neutral [10][11][12][13], Beta Laboratorios--Betasint Porcine Corriente and Polfa Tarchomin--Maxirapid CHO are now the only producers.

A short-acting, soluble, non-suspended insulin produced from r-DNA/GE/GM, bovine, or porcine sources. From 1921 to the 1930's when PZI was developed, R was the only kind of insulin available.
While both R/neutral and semilente insulins are considered fast-acting, they differ in a few ways. As above, there's no suspension or buffer [15] in R/neutral; it's totally dissolved and soluble, meaning it can safely be used intravenously. [16]
The very small insulin particles in semilente insulin are suspended by zinc. [15]. Semilente is cloudy, has an acetate buffer and cannot be used intravenously
R/Neutral insulin cannot be reliably mixed with Lente or Ultralente insulins. [17][18] Semilente can; the ratio of 3 parts semilente insulin to 7 parts ultralente insulin produces Lente insulin. [15]
