Insulin Lispro Protamine + Insulin Lispro contains Insulin Lispro Octreotide Acetate

Moderate

Insulin lispro (sold as Humalog 200) may need a lower dose if it is taken with drugs that make the body more sensitive to insulin or that lower blood sugar on their own. The list includes oral diabetes tablets, salicylates, sulfa antibiotics, certain antidepressants (monoamine oxidase inhibitors), angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, beta-adrenergic blockers, and alcohol. Octreotide acetate is one of the drugs that slow down the pancreas, and it is listed as well, so the dose may need to come down when the two are used together.

What do Major, Moderate and Minor mean?

Major

The combination can cause serious harm or stop a medicine from working. Usually avoided, or only used with close medical supervision.

Moderate

The combination may need care: a different dose, taking them at different times, or extra check-ups.

Minor

Little or no effect is expected. Usually nothing needs to change.

Duplicate

Two of your medicines contain the same ingredient, which can add up to a double dose.
