Human Mixtard Vial 40iu

INTRODUCTION

Human Mixtard 40IU is a mixture of intermediate acting and short-acting insulin that is designed to regulate the blood sugar levels of adult and juvenile patients having diabetes. While short-acting insulin immediately enters the bloodstream, Mixtard 40IU functions more gradually thereby helping in better management of blood glucose levels.

Human Mixtard 40IU is a mixture of four different insulins, which are: Insulin Aspart, Insulin Bovine (Regular), Insulin Lispro and Insulin Iletin II. Insulin is naturally produced by the pancreas and is essential in the regulation of glucose levels in the body. It works to separate the sugar molecules within carbohydrates to help it be utilized by cells. If there is not enough insulin available to convert the sugar into energy or carbohydrate, blood sugar levels will remain elevated.

It should be injected under the skin of your buttocks, abdomen, or upper arm. This medicine works by lowering blood sugar levels. It is often used in combination with other diabetes medications.

MEDICINE ACTIVITY

Human insulin/soluble insulin and isophane/NPH are fast-acting analogs of natural insulin: both substances have a rapid onset of action and a rapid elimination from the body in humans. The main difference between human insulin/soluble insulin and isophane/ NPH is the time of their peak activity.
