💉 Human Mixtard 40IU/ml Injection
Human Mixtard 40IU/ml Injection is a premixed biphasic human insulin that combines 30% soluble (short-acting) insulin with 70% isophane (intermediate-acting) insulin. It is prescribed for the treatment of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus to help maintain stable blood glucose levels throughout the day.
The fast-acting insulin helps control the rise in blood sugar after meals, while the intermediate-acting insulin provides longer-lasting glucose control between meals and overnight. Human Mixtard should be used as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, and routine blood glucose monitoring.
