What is Humulin N?
Humulin N is a prescription brand-name medication. It’s approved to help manage blood sugar levels in adults and children who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes. With diabetes, your body either stops making or stops responding to a hormone called insulin. Your body needs insulin to move sugar from your blood into your cells, which use sugar for energy. Diabetes can cause increased blood sugar levels. If you and your doctor believe Humulin N is working to help manage your blood sugar levels, you’ll likely use the drug long term.
Overview
Humulin N is a man-made form of a hormone that is naturally produced by the pancreas and lowers levels of blood glucose. It is a hormone injection used to control blood glucose (sugar) in dogs suffering from diabetes mellitus and
hyperglycemia. Humulin N is a long-acting form of insulin that is slightly different from other forms of insulin that are not man-made.
Precautions:
No insulin should be injected into the same location every day, as this could result in scar tissue, which will affect absorption. Taking Humulin N with anabolic steroids, beta adrenergic blockers, MAOIs, aspirin, phenylbutazone, tetracycline can cause potentiation. The effects of Humulin N may decrease when taken with estrogen agents, glucocorticoids, progestin, thiazide diuretic, dobutamine, epinephrine, or furosemide. Burdock root may cause hypoglycemic effects and you may need to adjust dosages if taking with insulin. Thyroid hormones may cause an initial increase in blood sugar.
Side Effects:
Hyperglycemia-Somogyi effect, hypoglycemia, and possible heart failure (if taken with thiazolidinediones). Indications for heart failure are shortness of breath, weight gain, and swelling of the limbs.
Possible Questions:
What problems could my dog have with Humulin N?
Insulin overdoses may be fatal. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your dog or cat is not acting normally. Signs of low blood sugar include weakness, depression, lack of energy, sluggishness, stumbling when walking, behavior changes, muscle twitching, seizures, or coma. It is a medical emergency if your cat or dog is unconscious or having a seizure.
Is it important for my dog to finish all of the Humulin N?
Dogs and cats may use Humulin N for different lengths of time. Please consult your veterinarian if you have any questions.
Do not switch from one type of insulin to another unless under the direction of a veterinarian. Changing from one insulin to another may require an adjustment in the dose. Consult your veterinarian before using Humulin N in your cat or dog.
