Expert advice for Eglucent Mix Suspension for Injection
Use your insulin exactly as advised by your healthcare provider. Humalog Mix starts working fast, so it should be given shortly before meals (upto 15 minutes or less). When necessary, it can be given soon after meals. Humalog Mix should only be given by subcutaneous injection that is under the skin of your stomach area, upper arm, upper leg or buttocks. After injection, the site of injection should not be massaged. Under no circumstances should it be given intravenously. Never mix your insulin with other insulin products. Never use Humalog Mix in an insulin pump. Change to another type or brand of insulin should be done under strict medical supervision. Changes in strength, brand (manufacturer), type (regular, NPH, lente, etc.) or species (animal, human, human insulin analogue) may result in the need for a change in dosage. Do not share your insulin device with other people, even if the needle has been changed. You may give other people a serious infection or get a serious infection from them.

How Eglucent Mix Suspension for Injection works
Eglucent Mix 25 Cartridge is a combination of two insulin preparations: Insulin lispro and insulin lispro protamine. Insulin lispro has a fast onset of action while insulin lispro protamine has a prolonged duration of action. Together, they ensure rapid and consistent sugar control by facilitating reuptake of sugar in muscle and fat cells, and suppressing the production of sugar in the liver. |
