WHAT HUMALOG MIX50 KWIKPEN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR?
Humalog Mix50 KwikPen is used to treat diabetes. It is a premixed suspension. Its active substance is insulin lispro. 50 % of the insulin lispro in Humalog Mix50 KwikPen is dissolved in water and it works more quickly than normal human insulin because the insulin molecule has been changed slightly. 50 % of the insulin lispro in Humalog Mix50 KwikPen is available in a suspension together with protamine sulphate, so that its action is prolonged.
You get diabetes if your pancreas does not make enough insulin to control the level of glucose in your blood. Humalog Mix50 is a substitute for your own insulin and is used to control glucose in the long term. Humalog Mix50 works very quickly and longer than soluble insulin. You should normally use Humalog Mix50 within 15 minutes of a meal.
