Does Tresiba have a generic equivalent?
Generic and brand-name pricing for Tresiba is broken out in the tables above where both exist in our data. Generic versions are typically the lower-cost option, but availability depends on the specific formulation and dosage.
What is Tresiba, and what is it used for?
Tresiba is a long-acting insulin (insulin degludec) used to help manage blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. By maintaining more stable glucose levels over time, it can help reduce the risk of long-term diabetes complications, which may include vision loss, nerve damage, kidney problems, heart attack, and stroke. It is prescribed for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes but is not used to treat diabetic ketoacidosis.
What formulations and doses of Tresiba are available?
Tresiba is supplied as a 10 mL vial containing 100 units of insulin per milliliter. It is injected subcutaneously, typically into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. It's important to rotate injection sites to minimize skin reactions or lipodystrophy. As a long-acting insulin, it provides a steady, low level of insulin over an extended period and can be used alongside shorter-acting mealtime insulins (in separate injections) and other diabetes medications. For patients who prefer a pen device, a 30-day supply of Tresiba FlexTouch pens is also available; discuss formulation options with your healthcare provider.
Can Tresiba be mixed in the same syringe with other types of insulin?
No. Tresiba should never be mixed or diluted with any other insulin product. It is also not approved for use in an insulin pump. If using the FlexTouch pen, the insulin should not be transferred to a syringe. However, it is common for a treatment plan to include multiple insulins. For example, a patient might take a once-daily dose of Tresiba for basal coverage and also use a rapid-acting insulin (like insulin aspart or lispro) before meals. These must always be administered in separate injections. Care must be taken to ensure the correct insulin and dose are used each time.
