HUMALOG MIX 50 KWIK PEN (Insulin Lispro (50%) + Insulin Lispro Protamine (50%))

HUMALOG MIX 50 KWIK PEN is a medication designed to help individuals with diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. It combines two types of insulin—Insulin Lispro for rapid action and Insulin Lispro Protamine for extended action. This dual-action formulation allows for better control of blood sugar, especially around mealtimes, supporting patients in maintaining a balanced lifestyle.

The active ingredients work together to mimic the natural insulin response in the body. Insulin Lispro acts quickly to lower blood sugar after meals, while the protamine component helps sustain insulin delivery over a longer period. This helps in managing blood sugar spikes that typically occur after eating.

For best results, it’s important to store the HUMALOG MIX 50 KWIK PEN properly, usually in a refrigerator until it is in use. Once opened, it can be kept at room temperature but should be used within a specified timeframe. Consistency in use is key, as is monitoring blood sugar levels regularly. Always follow any general precautions provided by your healthcare provider.

Some common and mild side effects may include low blood sugar, skin reactions at the injection site, or potential weight gain. These effects can vary from person to person.
