HUMULIN 70/30 VIAL U-100

Humulin 70/30 Vial U-100

Humulin 70/30 Vial U-100 is a prefilled insulin solution designed for the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It contains a fixed combination of 70% insulin NPH (intermediate-acting insulin) and 30% insulin regular (short-acting insulin), providing both immediate and extended blood glucose control. This combination therapy helps to manage blood sugar levels both during meals and between meals, offering a convenient, effective solution for individuals needing both types of insulin in one product.

Key Features:

• Premixed Insulin Combination: Humulin 70/30 Vial U-100 combines 30% regular insulin (fast-acting) and 70% NPH insulin (intermediate-acting) in one vial, providing comprehensive glucose control both before and after meals.

• Flexible Dosing: The U-100 concentration means that each milliliter (mL) of the solution contains 100 units of insulin. It is available in standard vial form for use with syringes or insulin pumps.

• Consistent Blood Sugar Control: The insulin combination is designed to control both postprandial (after meal) blood sugar spikes and provide long-lasting blood sugar management throughout the day.

• Used with Syringes or Insulin Pumps: The Humulin 70/30 Vial U-100 is intended for injection using insulin syringes or infusion pumps that are compatible with U-100 insulin.

• Cost-Effective and Reliable: The vial offers a cost-effective solution for individuals who require insulin and prefer using syringes to administer their insulin doses.

How to Use:

1. Consult Your Healthcare Provider to determine the correct dose based on your blood sugar levels and individualized diabetes management plan.

2. Prepare the Syringe: Draw the prescribed amount of Humulin 70/30 from the vial into an insulin syringe.

3. Choose an Injection Site: Common injection sites include the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate injection sites regularly to reduce discomfort or skin irritation.

4. Inject the Insulin: Inject the insulin subcutaneously (under the skin) as instructed by your healthcare provider. Ensure you follow proper technique to avoid injecting into muscle or veins.

5. Dispose of Needles Properly: After use, dispose of needles and syringes in a safe, designated sharps container.
