Humulin Coupons

Leave a comment

Humulin is a life-saving medication for many people. Humulin N is a necessary medication for the treatment and maintenance of diabetes mellitus, including diabetes type 1 and 2. Since there are no generic equivalents, finding a co-pay card and a coupon can be difficult. According to a leading coupon provider, the use of the coupon can bring 1 vial of Humulin (10ml of Humulin N 100 units/ml) down to a cost of $100 a month.

What if we told you that you could fill your prescription for even less than that? If you’re an under-insured or uninsured American struggling to keep up with the cost of your prescription medication, read on.

What is Humulin?

Brought to market in 1982 by Eli Lilly and Company, Humulin offers affordable choices of insulin for people to manage their type 1 and type 2 diabetes. There are a few different types of Humulin, so talk to your doctor: they can help you determine what strength of insulin is necessary for you based on your individual blood sugar needs.

  • Humulin R U-100 – A short-acting form of insulin. Best used to cover increases in blood sugar from meals within 30 minutes of eating.
  • Humulin N – This is a synthetic form of insulin that lasts longer than insulin produced in the human body.
  • Humulin 70/30 – This medication is a combination of short and intermediate-acting insulin to cover blood sugar needs throughout the day, at night, and after meals.

Do not use Humulin if white material (the insulin itself) stays at the bottom of the vial after mixing, or if there are solid particles in the solution. Please remember that needles and pens are for single-patient use and should never be shared. It should also be noted: never try and extract insulin from a pen using a syringe, as it may damage the pen and increase the risk of injury.

Humulin Side Effects

As with any medication, Humulin comes with a risk of side effects. Common side effects can include:

  • Weight gain
  • Swelling in the hands, feet, or ankles
  • Low blood sugar
  • Hollowing/Thickening of the skin at the injection point

The above symptoms are something to watch out for; however, if you experience any of the symptoms listed below, contact your doctor immediately.

  • Leg cramps
  • Irregular heartbeats
  • Fluttering in your chest
  • Increased thirst or urination
  • Numbness or tingling in the extremities
  • Muscle weakness

Humulin Prescription Assistance

We offer discounts on prescription medication through programs known as patient assistance programs. With discount Rx service fees as low as $39.95 a month, we will work with your doctor(s) to get the medications you need at a price that makes sense. Sometimes prescription medication costs can seem disproportionate if you do not have health insurance. This is where Rx Assistance Programs comes in: we were founded on the belief that the uninsured and under-insured should not be financially penalized simply because they do not possess health insurance. We work with patient assistance programs and drug manufacturers to help you obtain the medication you need.

If you have any questions about our service, or if you would like to see if you qualify, visit our ‘contact’ page or give us a call at 1-(855)-201-0232. Happy holidays from everyone at Rx Assistance Programs!

Diabetic Assistance

Leave a comment

Millions of Americans live with chronic disease. If you or a loved one suffers from a chronic disease, getting the right treatment is absolutely necessary. It’s not fair to struggle with medical bills and costly medications such as Lantus, Insulin, Humalog and other types of medications without some sort of assistance. We work with the uninsured and underinsured to make sure every American has access to the healthcare they deserve. We help thousands of diabetes patients receive the medication they need. With the rising cost of living and inflation, we have decided to advocate on our patients’ behalf through communication with pharmaceutical companies, doctors, prescription assistance programs and various grant services.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects millions of people wordwide. According to the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2014/p0610-diabetes-report.html) More than 29 million people in the United States have diabetes, up from the previous estimate of 26 million in 2010, according to a report released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  One in four people with diabetes doesn’t know he or she has it. Another 86 million adults – more than one in three U.S. adults – have prediabetes, where their blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes.  Without weight loss and moderate physical activity, 15 percent to 30 percent of people with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes within five years.

Diabetes Prevention

Diabetes is a serious chronic condition that CAN be managed! Knowing more about the disease can help you prevent it. It is split into two different types: type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes, also called juvenile diabetes, effects mostly young adults and children. This type can be managed through physical exercise, diet and proper medication. Insulin medications such as Humalog and Lantus can be covered by our prescription assistance programs. Insulin is a necessary medication to help control the effects of turbulent insulin levels in a diabetic patience.

Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetics produce insulin inside the body, but their bodies’ cannot keep up with the demand. The excess sugar becomes free-floating in the bloodstream instead of being converted into energy. Part of managing this type of diabetes involves much of what is recommended for patients with Type 1 diabetes. Healthy diet, exercise, proper hydration and exercise are highly recommended.

Diabetes Medication

There are many different types of insulin that can help manage your type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Everyone’s body is unique. Everybody responds to different medications (and the dosages) differently. Insulin can come in different forms to help the body process insulin as fast or as slowly as necessary. There are four major types. Rapid acting, short acting, intermediate acting and long acting. Talk with your doctor about what type and level of medication you need.

Diabetic Assistance

There are many medications that help manage the amount of insulin in your body: apidra, Humalog, novolog, humulin r, novolin r, lantus and levemir are just a few of the different types of insulin that we cover through our prescription assistance programs. We provide assistance for under-insured and uninsured patients that need assistance with their diabetic medication. We work with pharmaceutical companies, doctors and other healthcare providers to provide free or discounted prescription for low-to-moderate-income qualified individuals. Eligibility and application requirements vary from program to program which can sometimes make applying difficult or confusing.

That’s where we come in. We’re an organization that helps to facilitate the completion of Patient Assistance forms and applications. We handle all the paper work for you and your doctors office, we do all the necessary filing, and we also work directly with the pharmaceutical companies to see through the entire approval process of your applications. Once enrolled your medications are typically mailed directly to your doorstep in 90-day supplies, we also assist with the prescription refill process.
