abstract
  • This appears to be one of the last "plain" semilente insulins marketed. Novo Nordisk distributes it in Germany, but not in places like the US, Canada and the UK. Semilente insulin has an activity pattern similar to that of R/Neutral. The MC (stands for Monocomponent) designation seen in the insulin's name means it is of animal origin and highly purified. In some markets, Novo Nordisk "codes" their insulin in this manner: MC is insulin of animal origin, while HM is of r-DNA/GE/GM origin. In the past, the MC designation could mean it was made of beef, of pork, or a blend of both, as it was a way of distinguishing highly purified beef and pork insulins. Seeing it today means the insulin is of pure porcine origin, as Novo discontinued its bovine insulins some time ago.
