Lupinsulin 30:70 Drug Interactions

Lupinsulin preparations should not be mixed with animal insulin and biosynthetic insulin by other manufacturers. Many frequently used drugs (e.g. some blood pressure lowering drugs, cardiac drugs, drugs lowering the level of lipid in serum, thyroid treatment drugs, some contraceptives, epilepsy treatment drugs, salicylates, antibacterial drugs, orally taken contraceptives) may affect the insulin action and the efficiency of the insulin therapy. Therefore patients should always inform their doctors about constantly or temporarily taken drugs. They should ask for advice a doctor or pharmacist about the over-the-counter available drugs. A drug that has never been taken before should always be consulted with a doctor. A doctor to whom patients are consulting for other than diabetes reason, should always be informed about the insulin therapy.
