Frequently Asked Questions
We list 31 Insulin products from the NAFDAC Greenbook — Nigeria's official register of approved products — of which 30 have a currently active registration, including 9 combination products that pair Insulin with other ingredients. They are produced by manufacturers including CHI Pharmaceutical, Getz Pharma Nigeria, Novo Nordisk Pharma, Phillips Pharmaceuticals (Nigeria), Sanofi, among others. Combination products, and registrations the Greenbook currently lists as inactive, are clearly marked — Greenbook listings can lag renewals, so always confirm the number printed on the pack.

Each brand here holds a NAFDAC registration in the Greenbook. However, counterfeiters sometimes copy a genuine NAFDAC number onto a fake product, so always confirm that the brand, manufacturer (applicant), and strength printed on the pack match the record before you buy, and purchase only from licensed pharmacies.
Insulin brand prices in Nigeria vary by brand, strength, and where you buy it — imported brands are often more expensive than locally manufactured ones. Confirm the current price with a licensed pharmacy, and see the price guide on the main Insulin page.
