Why two NDCs? The FDA registers this code as 50090-4085-0 — a 5-4-1 layout, and that's what's printed on the package and shown on DailyMed. For insurance claims, every NDC is standardized to a uniform 11-digit 5-4-2 format by adding a zero to the package segment → 50090-4085-00. Same drug, same package — only the format differs.

Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

ℹ️
No price is published for this exact package yet. CMS surveys NADAC per package size, so a different pack of the same drug often has one.
Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

Inactive Ingredients / Excipients

Inactive ingredients, also called excipients, are components of the drug product other than the active ingredient. They may include fillers, dyes, coatings, preservatives, flavors, or other formulation ingredients.

Loading inactive ingredients from the official FDA label in the background. No external source is being called by this page request.
Where does this data come from?
Source: official FDA Structured Product Labeling (SPL) via DailyMed and the openFDA label index. Structured IACT rows and label-wide narrative are kept separate; availability and product-level specificity depend on the submitted label.

Inactive ingredient FAQ

Are inactive ingredients the same for every manufacturer?
No. Inactive ingredients can differ by manufacturer, dosage form, strength, and package / product version.
Why might an inactive ingredient be missing?
Some SPLs do not provide a complete structured inactive-ingredient list, and older or unusual labels may only include the information in narrative text.
Can inactive ingredients matter?
Yes. They can matter for allergies, intolerances, dyes, gluten / lactose concerns, preservatives, and formulation differences — but confirm with a pharmacist or the manufacturer when it’s clinically important.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~3 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Never share a NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 FlexPen between patients, even if the needle is changed (5.1) . • Hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia with changes in insulin regimen: Make changes to a patient’s insulin regimen (e.g., insulin strength, manufacturer, type, injection site or method of administration) under close medical supervision with increased frequency of blood glucose monitoring (5.2) . • Hypoglycemia: May be life-threatening. Increase frequency of glucose monitoring with changes to: insulin dosage, concomitantly administered glucose lowering medications, meal pattern, physical activity; and in patients with renal or hepatic impairments and hypoglycemia unawareness (5.3) . • Medication Errors: Accidental mix-ups between insulin products can occur.

Instruct patients to check insulin labels before injection (5.4) . • Hypersensitivity reactions: Severe, life-threatening, generalized allergy, including anaphylaxis, may occur. Discontinue NOVOLOG MIX 70/30, treat, and monitor, if indicated (5.5) . • Hypokalemia: May be life-threatening. Monitor potassium levels in patients at risk of hypokalemia and treat if indicated (5.6) . • Fluid retention and heart failure with concomitant use of thiazolidinediones (TZDs) : Observe for signs and symptoms of heart failure; consider dosage reduction or discontinuation if heart failure occurs (5.7) .

5.1Never Share NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 FlexPen Between Patients NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 FlexPen should never be shared between patients, even if the needle is changed. Patients using NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 vials must never share needles or syringes with another person. Sharing poses a risk for transmission of blood-borne pathogens.

5.2Hyperglycemia or Hypoglycemia with Changes in Insulin Regimen Changes in an insulin regimen (e.g., insulin strength, manufacturer, type, injection site or method of administration) may affect glycemic control and predispose to hypoglycemia [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] or hyperglycemia. Repeated insulin injections into areas of lipodystrophy or localized cutaneous amyloidosis have been reported to result in hyperglycemia; and a sudden change in the injection site (to an unaffected area) has been reported to result in hypoglycemia [ see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 , 6.3 )] .

Make any changes to a patient’s insulin regimen under close medical supervision with increased frequency of blood glucose monitoring. Advise patients who have repeatedly injected into areas of lipodystrophy or localized cutaneous amyloidosis to change the injection site to unaffected areas and closely monitor for hypoglycemia. For patients with type 2 diabetes, dosage adjustments of concomitant anti-diabetic products may be needed.

5.3Hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia is the most common adverse reaction of all insulins, including NOVOLOG MIX 70/30. Severe hypoglycemia can cause seizures, may lead to unconsciousness, may be life threatening or cause death. Hypoglycemia can impair concentration ability and reaction time; this may place an individual and others at risk in situations where these abilities are important (e.g., driving or operating other machinery).

Hypoglycemia can happen suddenly and symptoms may differ in each individual and change over time in the same individual. Symptomatic awareness of hypoglycemia may be less pronounced in patients with longstanding diabetes in patients with diabetic nerve disease, in patients using medications that block the sympathetic nervous system (e.g., beta-blockers) [see Drug Interactions (7)] , or in patients who experience recurrent hypoglycemia. Risk Factors for Hypoglycemia The risk of hypoglycemia after an injection is related to the duration of action of the insulin and, in general, is highest when the glucose lowering effect of the insulin is maximal.

As with all insulins, the glucose lowering effect time course of NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 may vary in different individuals or at different times in the same individual and depends on many conditions,… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

6.1Clinical Trial Experience Clinical trials are conducted under widely varying designs, therefore, the adverse reaction rates reported in one clinical trial may not be easily compared to those rates reported in another clinical trial, and may not reflect the rates actually observed in clinical practice. The data in: • Table 1 reflects the exposure of 55 patients with type 1 diabetes to NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 with a mean exposure duration of three months. The mean age was 43 years old.

Sixty-four percent were male and 100% were White. The mean body mass index (BMI) was 26.1 kg/m 2 . The mean duration of diabetes was 15 years. • Table 2 reflects the exposure of 85 patients with type 2 diabetes to NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 with a mean exposure duration of three months.

The mean age was 63 years old. Fifty-four percent were male and 100% were White. The mean body mass index (BMI) was 28.1 kg/m 2 .

The mean duration of diabetes was 15 years. Common adverse reactions were defined as events that occurred in ≥5%, excluding hypoglycemia, of the population studied. Common adverse reactions that occurred for NOVOLOG MIX 70/30-treated patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus are listed in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively.

The trial was a three-month, open-label trial in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who were treated twice daily (before breakfast and before supper) with NOVOLOG MIX 70/30. Table 1: Adverse Reactions that Occurred in ≥ 5% of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Adult Patients Treated with NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 (n=55) Preferred Term N % Hypoglycemia 38 69 Headache 19 35 Influenza-like symptoms 7 13 Dyspepsia 5 9 Back pain 4 7 Diarrhea 4 7 Pharyngitis 4 7 Rhinitis 3 5 Skeletal pain 3 5 Upper respiratory tract infection 3 5 Table 2: Adverse Reactions that Occurred in ≥ 5% of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Adult Patients Treated with NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 (n=85) Preferred Term N % Hypoglycemia 40 47 Upper respiratory tract infection 10 12 Headache 8 9 Diarrhea 7 8 Neuropathy 7 8 Pharyngitis 5 6 Abdominal pain 4 5 Rhinitis 4 5 Severe Hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia is the most commonly observed adverse reaction in patients using insulin, including NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 .

The rates of reported hypoglycemia depend on the definition of hypoglycemia used, diabetes type, insulin dose, intensity of glucose control, background therapies, and other intrinsic and extrinsic patient factors. For these reasons, comparing rates of hypoglycemia in clinical trials for NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 with the incidence of hypoglycemia for other products may be misleading and also, may not be representative of hypoglycemia rates that will occur in clinical practice. Severe hypoglycemia requiring the assistance of another person and/or parenteral glucose infusion or glucagon administration has been observed in clinical trials with insulin, including trials with NOVOLOG MIX 70/30.

The incidence of severe hypoglycemia in adult patients receiving subcutaneous NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 was 16% and 4% for type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients respectively at 12 weeks [see Clinical Studies (14)] . Allergic Reactions Patients have experienced reactions such as erythema, edema or pruritus at the site of NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 injection. These reactions usually resolve in a few days to a few weeks, but in some occasions, have required disc… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

👥 Use in Specific Populations ~3 min read ▾

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data with NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage. Available information from published randomized controlled trials with insulin aspart use during the second trimester of pregnancy have not reported an association with insulin aspart and major birth defects or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes [see Data] . There are risks to the mother and fetus associated with poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy [see Clinical Considerations] .

In animal reproduction studies, administration of subcutaneous insulin aspart to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis did not cause adverse developmental effects at exposures 8-times and equal to the human subcutaneous dose of 1 unit/kg/day, respectively. Pre- and post-implantation losses and visceral/skeletal abnormalities were seen at higher exposures, which are considered secondary to maternal hypoglycemia. These effects were similar to those observed in rats administered regular human insulin [see Data] .

The estimated background risk of major birth defects is 6-10% in women with pre-gestational diabetes with a HbA 1c >7% and has been reported to be as high as 20-25% in women with a HbA 1c >10%. The estimated background risk of miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo-Fetal Risk Poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy increases the maternal risk for diabetic ketoacidosis, preeclampsia, spontaneous abortions, preterm delivery, and delivery complications. Poorly controlled diabetes increases the fetal risk for major birth defects, still birth, and macrosomia related morbidity. Data Human Data Published data from 5 randomized controlled trials of 441 pregnant women with diabetes mellitus treated with insulin aspart during the late 2 nd trimester of pregnancy did not identify an association of insulin aspart with major birth defects or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.

However, these studies cannot definitely establish the absence of any risk because of methodological limitations, including a variable duration of treatment and small size of the majority of the trials. Animal Data Fertility, embryo-fetal and pre- and postnatal development studies have been performed with insulin aspart and regular human insulin in rats and rabbits. In a combined fertility and embryo-fetal development study in rats, insulin aspart was administered before mating, during mating, and throughout pregnancy.

Further, in a pre- and postnatal development study insulin aspart was given throughout pregnancy and during lactation to rats. In an embryo-fetal development study insulin aspart was given to female rabbits during organogenesis. The effects of insulin aspart did not differ from those observed with subcutaneous regular human insulin.

Insulin aspart, like human insulin, caused pre- and post-implantation losses and visceral/skeletal abnormalities in rats at a dose of 200 units/kg/day (approximately 32 times the human subcutaneous dose of 1 unit/kg/day, based on human exposure equivalents) and in rabbits at a dose of 10 units/kg/day (approximately three times the human subcutaneous dose of 1 unit/kg/day, based on human exposure equivalents). No significant effects were observed in rats at a dose of 50 units/kg/day and in rabbits at a dose of 3 units/kg/day.

These doses are approximately 8 times the human subcutaneous dose of 1 unit/kg/day for rats and equal to the human subcutaneous dose of 1 unit/kg/day for rabbits, based on human exposure equivalents. The effects are considered secondary to maternal hypoglycemia.

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data with NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage. Available information from published randomized controlled trials with insulin aspart use during the second trimester of pregnancy have not reported an association with insulin aspart and major birth defects or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes [see Data] . There are risks to the mother and fetus associated with poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy [see Clinical Considerations] .

In animal reproduction studies, administration of subcutaneous insulin aspart to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis did not cause adverse developmental effects at exposures 8-times and equal to the human subcutaneous dose of 1 unit/kg/day, respectively. Pre- and post-implantation losses and visceral/skeletal abnormalities were seen at higher exposures, which are considered secondary to maternal hypoglycemia. These effects were similar to those observed in rats administered regular human insulin [see Data] .

The estimated background risk of major birth defects is 6-10% in women with pre-gestational diabetes with a HbA 1c >7% and has been reported to be as high as 20-25% in women with a HbA 1c >10%. The estimated background risk of miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

🧓 Geriatric Use 56 words ▾

8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies of NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently than younger adult patients. In geriatric patients with diabetes, the initial dosing, dose increments should be conservative to avoid hypoglycemic reactions. Hypoglycemia may be difficult to recognize in geriatric patients.

🆘 Overdosage 79 words ▾

10 OVERDOSAGE Excess insulin administration may cause hypoglycemia and hypokalemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3, 5.6)] . Mild episodes of hypoglycemia usually can be treated with oral glucose. Adjustments in drug dosage, meal patterns, or exercise, may be needed.

More severe episodes with coma, seizure, or neurologic impairment may be treated with intramuscular/subcutaneous glucagon or concentrated intravenous glucose. Sustained carbohydrate intake and observation may be necessary because hypoglycemia may recur after apparent clinical recovery. Hypokalemia must be corrected appropriately.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action The primary activity of insulin, including NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 is the regulation of glucose metabolism. Insulin and its analog lower blood glucose by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake, especially by skeletal muscle and fat, and by inhibiting hepatic glucose production. Insulin inhibits lipolysis and proteolysis, and enhances protein synthesis.

12.2Pharmacodynamics A euglycemic clamp study described below assessed glucose utilization after subcutaneous dosing of NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 in healthy subjects (n = 24). Following a 0.3 units/kg single subcutaneous dose of NOVOLOG MIX 70/30, the onset of action is between 10-20 minutes and the mean ± SD time to peak activity is 2.7 hr ± 0.9 hr. The duration of action may be as long as 24 hours (see Figure 2).

Figure 2. Pharmacodynamic Activity Profile of NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 in healthy subjects after a single 0.3 units/kg subcutaneous dose Graph showing glucose infusion rate for NovoLog Mix 0/30

12.3Pharmacokinetics The single substitution of the amino acid proline with aspartic acid at position B28 in insulin aspart (NOVOLOG) reduces the molecule’s tendency to form hexamers as observed with regular human insulin. The rapid absorption characteristics of NOVOLOG are maintained by NOVOLOG MIX 70/30. Absorption and Bioavailability The 30% insulin aspart in the soluble component of NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 is absorbed rapidly from the subcutaneous layer.

The remaining 70% is in crystalline form as insulin aspart protamine which has a prolonged absorption profile after subcutaneous injection. The relative bioavailability of NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 compared to NOVOLOG indicates that the insulins are absorbed to similar extent. In a euglycemic clamp study in healthy subjects (n=24) after dosing with NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 (0.3 units/kg), a mean maximum serum concentration (C max ) of 61.3 ± 20.1 milliunits/L was reached after 85 minutes.

Serum insulin levels returned to baseline 16 to 20 hours after a subcutaneous dose of NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 (see Fig. 3 for pharmacokinetic profile). Figure 3.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

14.1Clinical Studies in Adult Patients with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes In a three-month, open-label trial, adult patients with type 1 (n=104) or type 2 (n=187) diabetes mellitus were treated twice daily (before breakfast and before supper) with NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 or Novolin 70/30. Patients had received insulin for at least 24 months before the study. Oral hypoglycemic agents were not allowed within 1 month prior to the study or during the study.

The small changes in HbA 1c were comparable across the treatment groups (see Table 4). For patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) the mean age was 43 years old, 64% were male, 100% were White, the mean body mass index (BMI) was 26.1 kg/m 2 , and mean duration of diabetes mellitus was 15 years. For patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the mean age was 63 years old, 54% were male, 100% were White, the BMI 28.1 kg/m 2 , and the mean duration of diabetes mellitus was 15 years.

14.2Clinical Studies in Adult Patients with Type 2 Diabetes with Insulin and Oral Antidiabetic Agents Trial 1: In a 34-week, open-label trial (Trial 1), insulin-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus currently treated with 2 oral antidiabetic agents were switched to treatment with metformin and pioglitazone. The mean age of the trial population was 53 years and mean duration of diabetes was 9.2 years. Forty-six percent were male.

Eighty-five percent were White, 12% were Black and 3% were Asian. The mean BMI was approximately 32.4 kg/m 2 . During an 8-week optimization period metformin and pioglitazone were increased to 2,500 mg per day and 30 or 45 mg per day, respectively.

After the optimization period, patients were randomized to receive either NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 twice daily added on to the metformin and pioglitazone regimen or continue the current optimized metformin and pioglitazone therapy. NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 was started at a dose of 6 international units twice daily (before breakfast and before supper). Insulin doses were titrated to a pre-meal glucose goal of 80-110 mg/dL.

The total daily insulin dose at the end of the study was 56.9 ± 30.5 international units.

13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Standard 2-year carcinogenicity studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of NOVOLOG MIX 70/30. In 52-week studies, Sprague-Dawley rats were dosed subcutaneously with NOVOLOG, the rapid-acting component of NOVOLOG MIX 70/30, at 10, 50, and 200 units/kg/day (approximately 2, 8, and 32 times the human subcutaneous dose of 1.0 unit/kg/day, based on units/body surface area, respectively). At a dose of 200 units/kg/day, NOVOLOG increased the incidence of mammary gland tumors in females when compared to untreated controls.

The relevance of these findings to humans is not known. NOVOLOG was not genotoxic in the following tests: Ames test, mouse lymphoma cell forward gene mutation test, human peripheral blood lymphocyte chromosome aberration test, in vivo micronucleus test in mice, and in ex viv o UDS test in rat liver hepatocytes. In fertility studies in male and female rats, NOVOLOG at subcutaneous doses up to 200 units/kg/day (approximately 32 times the human subcutaneous dose, based on units/body surface area) had no direct adverse effects on male and female fertility, or on general reproductive performance of animals.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
What does the discontinued status mean for this NDC?
The labeler reported a marketing end date (or the listing was delisted), so this specific package is no longer actively marketed. Remaining stock may still be dispensed for a time, and the NDC stays valid for historical records and claims — but data feeds (pricing, labeling) typically stop updating for it. Other package sizes or other manufacturers' versions of the same medication may still be marketed — see the equivalents section where available.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
