ELI LILLY LAUNCHES INSULIN PEN WITH MEMORY

February 22, 2007

Eli Lilly announced the launch of the first insulin pen with memory, HumaPen Memoir. The device has a "push-to-know" digital display that allows patients to record and review their last 16 insulin doses, including the priming doses.

Memoir is now available for use with Humalog (insulin lispro injection [rDNA origin]) by prescription in pharmacies nationwide.

Lilly also announced yesterday that it will launch an insulin pen that delivers Humalog in smaller increments, HumaPen Luxura HD, in April. This device, which will require a prescription, is a reusable pen that can deliver one to 30 units of Humalog in half-unit increments, beginning after the first unit. This type of pen may be useful for people with diabetes who do not need large amounts of insulin, or for children with diabetes, the company said.
