Novo Nordisk Patient Assistance Program Guide: How to Get Novolin N at Low or No Cost

About This Program

The Novo Nordisk Patient Assistance Program (PAP) is designed to help uninsured and underinsured patients access Novolin N (NPH insulin) at no cost or reduced cost. Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Novolin N, recognizes that insulin is essential for managing diabetes, and this program removes financial barriers for eligible patients.

About Novolin N (NPH Insulin)

Novolin N is an intermediate-acting insulin used to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It works by replacing the insulin your body would normally produce. Proper blood sugar control is critical for preventing serious diabetes complications, and this medication is an important part of many treatment plans.
