I know that insulin glargine-yfgn is a bio similar product to insulin glargine, i know there are no clinical differences, but what does the yfgn stand for? Is it a protein sequencing thing or something?
(California) Can someone help explain the purple book and biological substitution? If patient is prescribed Lantus, can I substitute to Rezvoglar? Semglee? Insulin glaring-yfgn? What if they prescribed insulin glargine? Thanks
