PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Mixtard 30 Suspension for 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.
Mixtard 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.

Understanding Biphasic Isophane Insulin: An Overview
Biphasic Isophane Insulin is a type of insulin that combines both short-acting and intermediate-acting insulins in one formulation. This allows for more flexible diabetes management, as it can help control both mealtime spikes in blood sugar and provide basal insulin coverage. Understanding how this insulin functions is essential for individuals with diabetes, as it can offer better blood sugar control and adaptability to their daily routines.
Insulin Isophane: Dosage and Administration
The dosage and administration of insulin Isophane are tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Typically, it is administered via subcutaneous injection once or twice a day. The exact dosing regimen and timing are determined by a healthcare provider based on factors like the patient’s insulin requirements and lifestyle.
Humulin N (NPH) Insulin: Side Effects and Risks
As with any medication, Humulin N (NPH) insulin is associated with potential side effects and risks. Common side effects may include injection site reactions and hypoglycemia. Patients should be aware of these risks and work closely with their healthcare providers to manage them effectively.
