Drug Overview
Ryzodeg is a fixed-ratio combination of basal insulin analog Tresiba (insulin degludec) with a bolus of prandial insulin analog NovoLog (insulin aspart). The product received regulatory approval in Japan and the EU in 2013. It was not, however, approved in the US until 2015 due to an initial rejection by the US Food and Drug Administration, which requested a dedicated cardiovascular outcomes trial before approval.
Ryzodeg is considered a combination insulin. The insulin degludec and insulin aspart components each retain their own action profile in solution, whereas in premixes, the elements interfere with one another and the short-acting component has a prolonged effect. Ryzodeg comprises a 70:30 ratio of insulin degludec and insulin aspart.
