PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Human Mixtard 70/30 Injection 100IU/ml is a combination of two medicines, an intermediate-acting and a short-acting type of insulin. It is used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus (type 1 and 2) to improve blood sugar control both in adults and children. It helps maintain the blood sugar levels in diabetic patients.
Human Mixtard 70/30 Suspension for Injection 100IU/ml is normally prescribed along with other diabetes medicines. Your doctor or nurse will teach you the correct way of injecting it under the skin. It should be taken 15 minutes before a meal or within 20 minutes after starting a meal. Don’t stop taking it unless your doctor tells you to.
It is only part of a treatment program that should also include a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight reduction as advised by your doctor. Check your blood sugar levels regularly, keep track of your results and share them with your doctor. This is very important to work out the correct dose of the medicine for you.
The most common side effect of this medicine is low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). To prevent this, it’s important to always inject the correct dose of medicine only, have regular meals, and monitor your blood sugar levels regularly. Drinking excessive alcohol can also lead to a fall in your blood sugar levels. Other side effects include reactions at the injection site like redness or swelling. Some people gain weight while taking insulin. You may also notice a rash, edema (swelling), or itching while taking this medicine.
Do not use this medicine when you have low blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia). Tell your doctor if you’ve ever had kidney, liver or heart problems before starting treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor as the dose may need to be changed.

Benefits and Considerations of Using Biphasic Isophane Insulin
Biphasic Isophane Insulin offers several advantages in diabetes management. It simplifies insulin regimens by combining both mealtime and basal insulin into a single injection. This can lead to improved adherence and more straightforward management for some patients. However, it is important to consider individual insulin needs and consult with a healthcare provider to determine if this type of insulin is the right choice.
Humulin N (NPH) Insulin: Mechanism of Action
The mechanism of action of Humulin N involves the inclusion of protamine, which delays the absorption of insulin into the bloodstream. This results in a more gradual and sustained effect on blood glucose, allowing for better control of blood sugar levels. Humulin N is particularly useful for covering the body’s insulin needs between meals and during sleep.
Insulin Isophane: Benefits and Considerations
Insulin Isophane offers several benefits in diabetes management. It provides a stable background level of insulin, reducing the risk of blood sugar fluctuations. This helps in achieving better overall glycemic control and can be especially valuable for individuals with variable insulin needs.
