NOVOLIN 70/30 U-100 VIAL

70/30 U-100 Vial

70/30 U-100 Vial is a pre-mixed insulin solution that combines 70% NPH insulin (a long-acting insulin) and 30% regular insulin (a short-acting insulin). This fixed combination provides both immediate and extended blood sugar control, making it an effective solution for people with diabetes who require insulin therapy. Available in a vial format, the 70/30 U-100 is intended for use with syringes for precise dosing and is ideal for individuals who prefer to manage their insulin doses manually.

Key Features:

• Fixed Combination Insulin: The 70/30 U-100 Vial contains a pre-mixed insulin combination of 70% NPH insulin and 30% regular insulin, offering both fast-acting and long-acting effects. This combination is designed to help control blood sugar levels during both the day and night by providing immediate blood sugar control after meals and lasting effects to manage baseline blood glucose levels between meals and overnight.
  
  

• Convenient Vial Format: The vial format allows for flexibility in dosing, making it ideal for individuals who use syringes for insulin administration. The vial provides multiple doses, which makes it a cost-effective option for long-term insulin therapy. It is compatible with U-100 insulin syringes, allowing for accurate and customizable dosing based on individual needs.
  
  

• U-100 Concentration: 70/30 U-100 Vial has a concentration of 100 units per milliliter (U-100), which is a standard insulin concentration. This ensures consistency and reliability in insulin delivery. The U-100 concentration is the most commonly used and is suitable for those with moderate insulin requirements.
  
  

• Effective Diabetes Management: The 70/30 insulin mix is designed to mimic the body’s natural insulin response by providing both basal (background) insulin for sustained glucose control and bolus (meal-time) insulin to manage post-meal blood sugar spikes. This makes it a suitable option for many people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.
  
  

• Flexible Dosing: The vial format allows for precise dosing using syringes, which is ideal for individuals who need to adjust their insulin dose based on their specific blood glucose levels, diet, and physical activity.
  
  

• Reliable Insulin Delivery: 70/30 U-100 Vial provides reliable, consistent insulin delivery that helps maintain blood sugar control throughout the day, reducing the risk of complications associated with high or low blood sugar levels.
  
  

• Trusted Quality: Manufactured to the highest standards, 70/30 U-100 Vial is produced under rigorous quality control conditions to ensure safety and efficacy. It is designed to be a reliable part of a diabetes management plan.
  
  

How It Works:

1. Prepare the Syringe: Draw the prescribed dose of insulin from the 70/30 U-100 Vial into a U-100 insulin syringe. Be sure to follow the prescribed dosage instructions from your healthcare provider.
   
   

2. Inject the Insulin: After preparing the syringe, clean the injection site with an alcohol swab. Inject the insulin into the subcutaneous tissue (typically into the fatty layer of the skin on the abdomen or thigh), following proper injection techniques as instructed by your healthcare provider.
   
   

3. Dispose of the Syringe: After the injection, safely dispose of the syringe in a sharps container to prevent injury or infection.
   
   

Important Information:

• Do Not Share Vials or Syringes: 70/30 U-100 Vial is for single-user use only. To reduce the risk of infection or cross-contamination, do not share vials, syringes, or needles.
  
  

• Storage: Store 70/30 U-100 Vial in the refrigerator (36°F to 46°F / 2°C to 8°C) before first use. After first use, the vial can be kept at room temperature (up to 77°F / 25°C) for up to 28 days. Do not freeze the vial. If the vial has been frozen, it should not be used.
  
  

• Monitor Blood Sugar Levels: Regular blood glucose testing is crucial to help adjust the insulin dose to maintain optimal blood sugar control. Work with your healthcare provider to monitor your levels and adjust dosing as needed.
  
  

• Possible Side Effects: Like all insulin products, 70/30 U-100 Vial may cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), weight gain, or allergic reactions. Always consult with your healthcare provider for any concerns about side effects or if you experience unusual symptoms.
  
  

• Injection Site Reactions: Common side effects can include redness, swelling, or itching at the injection site. Rotate injection sites regularly to minimize discomfort and reduce the risk of lipohypertrophy (fat buildup under the skin).
  
  

Additional Information:

• Personalized Dosing: The vial format offers flexibility for those who require individualized insulin dosing based on meal patterns, exercise, or blood sugar levels. Work with your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosing schedule for your specific needs.
  
  

Not for Intravenous Use: 70/30 U-100 Vial is intended for subcutaneous use only. It is not to be injected into a vein (intravenous) or muscle.
