WalMart Humulin N changing to Novolon?
I may have missed the announcement here, so kindly show me where I can find it here.
I went to Wal Mart yesterday to get a bottle of Humulin N. They no longer carry it and say Wal Mart is changing the name to Novolon (sp??) but they don't know when it will be in the store. Can anyone update me on what this all means? Sadly I had to go to another store and pay an outrageous price for Humulin N. I haven't been around much, as life took quite a turn recently. My apologies if this is "old news" but it isn't for me! |

No, not old news. It has been posted by a couple of people that they have been in the same situation. Craig started a thread "Relion Insulin" for it just Because it seems to be coming up more often.

Re: WalMart Humulin N changing to Novolon?
Thanks Ruby I looked at that thread but that is ReliOn R and N, not what we use Humulin N.
Seems WalMart is changing both of them??? It was over triple monies I had to pay for a bottle of Humulin N yesterday. I can't afford that for very long at all. $85 for one bottle. |

Re: WalMart Humulin N changing to Novolon?
Relion N is Humilin N. I just checked my bottle and it says Humilin N on it. They just package it under the Relion brand name for walmart.
If you have your old bottle of insulin that you have been getting from walmart you may see the Relion name on there, on the box it was pretty small, but Humilin N was printed in big letters.

Re: WalMart Humulin N changing to Novolon?
You are both right, in tiny letters I see ReliOn on the box, never noticed it before.
So what is the "scoop" with the new Novolin brand that Wal Mart says is "coming"? Anyone know? |

Re: WalMart Humulin N changing to Novolon?
Bought a vial yesterday. No shortage here and the pharmacists weren't aware of any problems or a supplier change???
From what I saw yesterday on Facebook, it seemed to be east coast / mid Atlantic states where the outages were ... NY, PA, MD, VA ... ???????????????????????

Re: WalMart Humulin N changing to Novolon?
Well I am in OR, west coast and my Wal Mart is out of Humulin N.
I wrote Wal Marts FB and all they wrote back was that I could order online. I don't think they actually read what I wrote. I'll try ReliOn FB. |
