About Huminsulin 30/70 Injection 40 IU/ml

Huminsulin 30/70 Injection 40 IU/ml belongs to the class of medicines called antidiabetics used to treat both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a condition that affects the way the body processes glucose. In Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, the body does not make enough insulin to control blood sugar levels. In Diabetes Mellitus type 2, either the body stops producing enough insulin (the hormone which helps to decrease sugar levels in the blood) or there is resistance to the action of insulin. As a result, insulin is produced in large amounts, but it cannot act on the organs of the body.

Huminsulin 30/70 Injection 40 IU/ml is a combination of two drugs, namely: Soluble insulin (a short-acting type of insulin) and Insulin isophane (intermediate-acting). Huminsulin 30/70 Injection 40 IU/ml suppresses the production of sugar in the liver and facilitates the reuptake of sugar in the fat and muscle cells, thereby Huminsulin 30/70 Injection 40 IU/ml ensures rapid and consistent sugar control. 

You are advised to take Huminsulin 30/70 Injection 40 IU/ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Huminsulin 30/70 Injection 40 IU/ml may cause certain common side effects like an allergic reaction at the site of injection, hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level), itching, lipodystrophy (skin thickening or pits at the injection site), oedema (swelling), rashes, and weight gain. Most of these side effects of Huminsulin 30/70 Injection 40 IU/ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Consult your doctor before taking Huminsulin 30/70 Injection 40 IU/ml if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Huminsulin 30/70 Injection 40 IU/ml may cause drowsiness, so drive with caution. Avoid alcohol consumption along with Huminsulin 30/70 Injection 40 IU/ml as it may cause unpleasant side effects. Huminsulin 30/70 Injection 40 IU/ml should be given to children only if prescribed by the doctor. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any interactions. Huminsulin 30/70 Injection 40 IU/ml has to be stored in the refrigerator between 2-8°C else its efficiency may be lost. Do not store in the freezer.
