Hypurin® Porcine Insulin
(INSULIN Ph Eur)
Hypurin® Porcine insulin is an animal-derived insulin (porcine, pork base) and Wockhardt are the only remaining manufacturer in the world.
Product Update: Wockhardt Porcine insulin VIALS will no longer be available
Wockhardt UK has been the sole supplier of Porcine Insulin Globally for many years and have remained committed to supply patients for as long as possible.
Regrettably, we have had no choice but to discontinue the Hypurin® Porcine Insulin vials moving forward.
All patients currently using vials will need to have their insulin prescription changed. The discontinuation of Hypurin® vials will not affect the supply of Hypurin® cartridges.
We are aware Owen Mumford are discontinuing their AutoPen Classic reusable, insulin delivery pens which are currently compatible with our Hypurin (porcine insulin) cartridges.
There is no immediate need for patients currently using Autopen Classic insulin pens to change their devices. As specified in their instruction leaflet ‘The Autopen Classic can be used for up to two years’
Wockhardt are taking every step to ensure minimal disruption to patients using Hypurin Porcine Insulin and have developed our new Hypurin-compatible insulin pen which we expect to be available by September 2025.
Details of mypen2 can be found below.
