Generic NovoRapid Insulin

[andrzejLKS]

Hi all,

Just came back from the pharmacy and checked my insulin. The packaging looks like this and is bulky, obviously has the right medication inside of it.

Anyone else seen this in their lives before? Normally I just get the brand packaging lol.

Generic:

It's not generic, NovoRapid is the brand name for the insulin aspart produced by NovoNordisk.
There is generic insulin aspart available but this is not it.
Can it be they changed the package?

I am aware that it's the brand name. I was only talking about the packaging which is brandless, apart from obviously the reference to the name.

That looks like the standard box I get.

Hi @andrzejLKS ,

Do you not have a sun god moose emblem in the bottom right corner of the box? (It’s an “Egyptian Apis Bull.” By all accounts..)

Hi
Mine used to come from Spain ( lots of spanish instructions on the box ) but i havent inspected a box since i changed chemist.
Your big chemist chains like boots and Lloyds use just 2 pharmaceutical suppliers and go for whichever is cheapest which is why the boxes change from time to time.

Nope, hence why I thought it was strange, but hey, it's still the exact same thing but in a bigger and different box so I'm not complaining.
