'"`UNIQ--vote-00000584-QINU`"' Binds the same insulin receptor as endogenous insulin with comparable mitogenic-to-metabolic ratio. Ultra-rapid formulations (Lyumjev) add treprostinil and citrate to accelerate absorption further'"`UNIQ--ref-00000585-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000E4A-QINU`"' The narrow safe-bolus window for IV use (sharp risk of arrhythmia, hypertensive emergency, intracerebral hemorrhage) is why anaphylaxis dosing is '''IM, not IV''', outside critical care'"`UNIQ--ref-00000E4B-QINU`"'. (1)
