PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Mixtard 30 HM 100IU Penfill 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.
Mixtard 30 HM 100IU/ml Penfill 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.

How Biphasic Isophane Insulin Works in Diabetes Management
The mechanism of action of Biphasic Isophane-Insulin involves two phases: an initial rapid-acting phase that covers mealtime insulin needs and a second, slower-acting phase that provides basal insulin coverage between meals. This dual action helps manage post-meal blood sugar spikes and maintain steady glucose levels throughout the day.
Humulin N (NPH) Insulin: Benefits and Considerations
Humulin N (NPH) insulin 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.
Insulin Isophane: Mechanism of Action
Insulin Isophane functions by delaying the absorption of insulin into the bloodstream. This delay is achieved through the inclusion of protamine, which slows down the insulin’s release, resulting in a more gradual and sustained effect on blood glucose. This mechanism of action allows for better control of blood sugar levels and is particularly useful for covering the body’s insulin needs between meals and during sleep.
