Hi, my pharmacy is giving me Admelog instead of Humalog because of RAMQ insurance coverage?

Hi! It is not the exact same medication, there may be a few differences on the molecule itself, but it should work the same for you.

As a precaution, monitor your blood sugar more closely for the next 2 weeks.

Kind regards,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
