On 18 October 2012, the CHMP adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorisation for the medicinal product Ryzodeg, 100 units/mL, solution for injection from Novo Bordisk, intended for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The active substances of Ryzodeg are insulin degludec and insulin aspart, a soluble insulin product consisting of the basal insulin degludec and the rapid-acting prandial insulin aspart. Insulin degludec and insulin aspart bind specifically to the human insulin receptor and results in the same pharmacological effects as human insulin.
