Humalog Mix25/Humalog Mix50 Description

Humalog Mix25/Humalog Mix50 suspension for injection is a white, sterile suspension. It is a premixed suspension.
The active substance is insulin lispro. Insulin lispro is made in the laboratory by a 'recombinant DNA technology' process. It is a changed form of human insulin and so is different from other human and animal insulins. Insulin lispro is closely related to human insulin which is a natural hormone made by the pancreas.
The other ingredients are protamine sulphate, m-cresol, phenol, glycerol, dibasic sodium phosphate 7H₂O, zinc oxide and water for injection. Sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid may have been used to adjust the acidity.
The KwikPen is a disposable pre-filled pen. One KwikPen contains multiple doses of insulin. The KwikPen dials 1 unit at a time. The number of units is displayed in the dose window and should always be checked before injection. A single injection can deliver from 1 to 60 units. If the dose is more than 60 units, more than one injection will need to be given.
