Product Details:

• Brand Name: NovoMix 30 FlexPen
• Form: Prefilled insulin pen
• Insulin Concentration: 100 IU/mL
• Volume per Pen: 3 mL
• Active Ingredients:
  • 30% Insulin aspart (rapid-acting insulin)
  • 70% Insulin aspart protamine (intermediate-acting insulin)
• Administration Route: Subcutaneous injection

How It Works:

• Rapid-acting insulin aspart starts working within 10–20 minutes, peaks at 1–4 hours, and lasts for up to 24 hours.
• Intermediate-acting insulin aspart protamine provides extended blood sugar control.
• Together, these two insulin types help manage blood sugar levels before and after meals, offering 24-hour coverage with a balanced effect.

Who Should Use It?

• People with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes who need a combination of rapid-acting and intermediate-acting insulin.
• Patients who require both meal-time and basal insulin coverage for better blood sugar control.
• Those using a convenient prefilled insulin pen for ease of administration.

Usage Instructions:

• Inject once or twice daily, typically before breakfast and/or dinner, depending on the doctor’s instructions.
• Administer subcutaneously (in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm).
• Rotate injection sites to avoid irritation or lipodystrophy (fat changes under the skin).
• Do not mix with other insulins in the same injection or syringe.
• Dispose of the pen after use—do not attempt to refill it.

Warnings & Precautions:

• Monitor blood sugar levels regularly to ensure proper dosing.
• Risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) if overdosed or meals are skipped.
• Do not use if the insulin appears cloudy or discolored.
• Store unopened pens in the refrigerator (2–8°C).
• In-use pens can be kept at room temperature (below 30°C) for up to 4 weeks.
