Why Isn Generic Humalog Available?

There are at least two major obstacles preventing generic Humalog from becoming available. First, Humalog is considered a “biologic” medication and is under different rules and laws than most other medications. At this point, generic biologics, including generic Humalog, are not allowed to be manufactured in the United States. Currently, legislation is under way that may change the laws concerning generic biologics (including insulin), but it is not clear when (or even if) this may happen.
