Novo Nordisk Incorporated and FDA notified pharmacists of an initiative
implemented to help prevent dispensing errors. To facilitate the dispensing
of the correct product, color branded labeling has been introduced for
NovoLog Mix 70/30, a premixed insulin analog, and NovoLog, a rapid-acting
insulin analog. The previous box for NovoLog Mix 70/30 was white with a blue
band. The current packaging for NovoLog Mix 70/30 is very similar and
remains white with a blue band. The packaging for NovoLog previously was
also white with a blue band. The current packaging is now white with an
orange band. It is important that all pharmacists carefully distinguish
insulin formulations by name and NDC number when dispensing.
