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. The insulin device should be rotated in the palms of the hands ten times and inverted 180° ten times immediately before use to resuspend the insulin until it appears uniformly cloudy or milky. If not, repeat the above procedure until contents are mixed. Do not shake vigorously as this may cause frothing which may interfere with the correct measurement of the dose. The device/cartridge should be examined frequently and not be used if clumps of material are present or if solid white particles stick to the bottom or wall of the cartridge, giving a frosted appearance. 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 50 Kwikpen 100IU/ml 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. |
