Novo Nordisk, a healthcare company with a focus on diabetes care, announced the availability of NovoDose – the first-ever mobile insulin-dosing guide for physicians to look up dosing guidelines and blood glucose goals for their patients with diabetes.
The guide is available as an application on iTunes and is specific to Novo Nordisk ’s modern insulin analog portfolio: Levemir (insulin detemir [rDNA origin] injection), NovoLog (insulin as part [rDNA origin] injection), and NovoLog Mix 70/30 (70 percent insulin as part protamine suspension and 30 percent insulin as part injection, [rDNA origin]).
Through a series of questions with easy touch-screen answers, NovoDose allows physicians to select the type of insulin they want to research, review suggested guidelines for dosing, titration and even blood glucose goals for their patients. The app also provides important safety information on the products and only those who self-identify as healthcare professionals can download the app.
NovoDoseT is now available for free download at www.novodose.com/app or on iTunes.
