FDA clears Valeritas' V-Go Disposable Insulin Delivery Device for use with NovoLog

Valeritas, Inc., a medical technology company committed to the development and commercialization of innovative drug delivery solutions, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared the company's V-Go Disposable Insulin Delivery Device for use with Novo Nordisk's NovoLog® for the continuous subcutaneous delivery of insulin in preset basal rates and with on-demand bolus dosing for adult patients requiring insulin.  In December 2010, Valeritas received FDA clearance for the V-Go's use with Eli Lilly's Humalog®.

"With the addition of NovoLog® to the V-Go label, we have demonstrated that the two most widely prescribed fast acting insulins in the United States can be used safely with the V-Go and thereby have increased healthcare professional and patient insulin options available for use with the V-Go Disposable Insulin Delivery Device," said Valeritas CEO Kristine Peterson.
