Humalog Mix 25 Kwikpen 100IU injection kwikpen
Humalog Mix 25 KwikPen 100IU Injection is a pre-filled insulin pen containing a combination of 25% rapid-acting insulin lispro and 75% intermediate-acting insulin lispro protamine. This formulation provides dual action—immediate blood glucose control after meals and extended glucose regulation between meals.
Doctors prescribe Humalog Mix 25 to manage type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients requiring insulin therapy. The convenient KwikPen design allows for easy, accurate, and discreet insulin administration without the need to load cartridges or handle vials and syringes.
Each KwikPen delivers 100IU/mL of insulin and is ready-to-use for multiple doses. The pen offers precise dosing adjustments, making it suitable for adults and adolescents. Patients should follow their doctor’s prescribed dosage, which may vary depending on their blood sugar levels, meal timing, and physical activity.
Inject the insulin subcutaneously in areas like the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate injection sites regularly to prevent lipodystrophy. Do not administer Humalog Mix 25 via intravenous or intramuscular injection.
Store unused pens in the refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C. Once in use, keep the pen at room temperature and discard it after 28 days, even if it still contains insulin.
