I'm wondering if anyone has read up on
the subject of allergies to "human insulin"
products. I did a search on the online
PubMed and found numerous reports of
allergies to "human insulin" products
and reports of individuals allergic to
multiple "human insulin" products.
That's one reason we really need animal-source
insulin in the U.S. So that we have other options
available for allergic persons.
I always say that when they discovered new antibiotics,
they didn't pull the old ones off the market just because
they discovered a new one. Instead, persons who have
a penicillin allergy still have other antibiotics on the market
that their physician can prescribe. They don't have to wait
for those to be imported.
I hope that somewhere someone will wake up and see
that there is an urgent need for animal-source insulin
in the U.S. and do something to get it back on the market. |
