Some medications never catch on or don't last for various reasons. Remember the nasal delivery system for insulin that Pfizer had?
It didn't last 2 years and was discontinued.

My doctor says he has two NEW (different than Toujeo and the others) to give me if I stop by. I haven't been brave enough to try the Toujeo yet.
I did however ask the pharmacist the following question.
"Since the patent on Lantus is soon to expire, does this mean that other companies might be coming out with generic insulin that is equal to Levemir and Lantus?"
She nodded and said "Yes".
Really??? Anyone!!!!
I would imagine some company would make an insulin calling it 'Insulin Glargine (or however it's spelled).
So confusing.
