HUMALOG MIX 25 CARTIGE 3ML

About

Humalog Mix 25 Cartridge 3ML contains biphasic insulin lispro 25/75, a premixed insulin analogue. This formulation combines 25% rapid-acting insulin lispro and 75% intermediate-acting insulin lispro protamine suspension. It is indicated for the treatment of diabetes mellitus in patients who require both mealtime and basal insulin for glycemic control. The rapid-acting component effectively manages postprandial glucose excursions, while the intermediate-acting component provides a sustained glucose-lowering effect throughout the day. This combination allows for a reduced number of daily injections compared to separate rapid and intermediate-acting insulin regimens, thereby improving patient convenience and adherence. The cartridge format is designed for use with specific insulin pens, facilitating accurate and easy administration. Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is essential to optimize dosing and achieve target glycemic goals, minimizing the risk of both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.
