A cerebral embolism is a blood clot that originates somewhere else in the body, usually in the heart or in the neck blood vessels, that then travels to the brain. This creates a blockage of blood flow to the brain and causes a stroke.
It is sweeping the country as the insulin that takes care of postprandial blood sugars, which is the big emphasis now. It went from $30 to $34.73.. Current prices for Humulin and Humalog provided by Lilly and Campbell are very close.
Cammack said the per-unit cost was raised to equal that of its regular human insulin, Humulin U-100 -- hence the equivalent $0.12 per unit of insulin cost for both drugs. We felt it was probably appropriate to allow U-500 to be priced the same as other human insulins in the marketplace, Cammack said.
