Insulin Lispro Protamine 50.00 IU + Insulin Lispro 50.00 IU
Product Description
HUMALOG MIX 50 KWIKPEN is a fixed dose combination of Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro. It is a rapid-acting insulin analog used to control blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. Insulin Lispro Protamine has an intermediate onset and duration of action, while Insulin Lispro has a rapid onset and short duration of action. This combination provides a more flexible and convenient approach to insulin therapy. It helps mimic the natural release of insulin in response to meals, thereby managing postprandial blood glucose levels effectively. HUMALOG MIX 50 KWIKPEN is typically administered via injection and should be used as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes diet, exercise, and regular blood sugar monitoring.
