Humulin 70/30 KwikPen

Humulin 70/30 KwikPen is a prefilled, insulin delivery device designed to make insulin administration simple and convenient for individuals with diabetes. This pen contains a premixed combination of 70% insulin NPH (intermediate-acting) and 30% insulin regular (short-acting) to help control both blood sugar levels after meals and provide long-lasting glucose control throughout the day.

Key Features:

• Premixed Insulin: The Humulin 70/30 KwikPen contains a ready-to-use, fixed ratio of 70% NPH insulin and 30% regular insulin. This combination provides both rapid-acting and intermediate-acting insulin in one convenient pen, helping to control blood sugar levels before and after meals.

• Convenient, Prefilled Design: The KwikPen is prefilled with Humulin 70/30, making it easy to carry and use without the need for drawing insulin from a vial. Simply attach the pen needle, dial the dose, and inject.

• Easy Dosing: The Humulin 70/30 KwikPen offers precise dosing in 1-unit increments, making it easy to adjust your insulin intake as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

• Portable and Discreet: The KwikPen is compact and discreet, so you can carry it in your pocket, purse, or bag, making it perfect for on-the-go use.

• No Refrigeration Needed (for up to 28 days): After first use, the Humulin 70/30 KwikPen can be stored at room temperature for up to 28 days, so you don’t have to worry about keeping it in the fridge once it’s open.

• Simple Injection Process: The pen is designed for easy, comfortable injections with minimal effort. Its user-friendly mechanism makes insulin delivery a simple and quick process.

How to Use:

1. Remove the Humulin 70/30 KwikPen from the box and ensure the pen is at room temperature (if previously stored in the refrigerator).

2. Attach a new needle to the pen and prime it by dialing to 2 units and pressing the button to ensure insulin is flowing.

3. Turn the dose selector to the prescribed amount of insulin as instructed by your healthcare provider.

4. Choose an injection site, usually in the abdomen or thigh, and clean the area with an alcohol swab.

5. Insert the needle into the skin at a 90-degree angle, press the button to inject, and hold for a few seconds to ensure the full dose is delivered.

6. Remove the needle and dispose of it in a proper sharps container.
