NovoRapid® (insulin aspart) is indicated for treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus who require insulin for the control of hyperglycemia. It should

normally be used in regimens together with an intermediate or long-acting insulin. NovoRapid® (10 mL vials) may also be used for continuous subcutaneous

insulin infusion (CSII) in pump systems which are licensed in Canada for insulin infusion. Hypoglycemic reactions on NovoRapid® are mostly mild and easily

managed, however, glucose monitoring is still recommended. As with all insulins, patients may experience redness, swelling or itching at the site of injection.

Please see the Product Monograph for full Indication, Contraindications, Warnings, Precautions and information on Dosage and Administration.

*Comparative clinical signifi cance has not been established.
