Mixtard 30 Hm Penfill 3ml Pack Of 5 Injections

Mixtard 30 HM Penfill Injection is used for managing the following health conditions:

• Improvement of blood sugar control in adults with diabetes mellitus.

• Management of blood glucose levels in individuals with type 1 diabetes, a condition where the body fails to produce enough insulin.

• Regulation of blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes who are unable to manage their condition through diet, exercise, and oral antidiabetic medications alone.

• Use as an initial insulin therapy for those newly diagnosed with diabetes requiring insulin for sugar control.

• Continuation of treatment for individuals already on insulin therapy to maintain desired blood glucose levels.

To administer Mixtard 30 HM Penfill Injection correctly, follow these steps:

• Ensure the cartridge is properly inserted into the insulin pen.

• Clean the injection site on your body (abdominal wall, thigh, upper arm or buttocks) with an alcohol wipe.

• Rotate the injection sites within the same region to avoid skin changes or lipodystrophy.

• Administer the injection subcutaneously, which means just under the skin rather than into a muscle.

• For specific advice and instructions related to your individual dosage and timing, please consult your doctor.

Mixtard 30 HM Penfill Injection is administered via a subcutaneous route.

Mixtard 30 HM Penfill Injection contains Human Premix Insulin (100 IU). This active ingredient works on the body in several ways:

• Facilitates Glucose Uptake: The insulin allows muscle and fat cells to absorb more glucose from the bloodstream. This process helps lower the overall blood glucose levels.

• Inhibits Glucose Output: Besides facilitating glucose uptake into cells, insulin also inhibits the liver from releasing excess glucose into the blood. This dual action significantly aids in managing blood sugar levels.

• Mimics Physiological Secretion: The combination of fast-acting soluble human insulin and intermediate-acting isophane human insulin mimics the natural pattern of insulin secretion by the pancreas. This includes an initial surge followed by sustained action, which effectively manages blood sugar levels throughout the day.

• Store the unopened Mixtard 30 HM Penfill Injection cartridges in a refrigerator at temperatures between 2-8°C.

• After opening, you can keep them at room temperature, but ensure it's below 30°C for up to 6 weeks.

• Avoid exposing it to excessive heat or sunlight, and never freeze them as they can damage the insulin.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Strive to maintain a balanced diet low in simple sugars. This will assist in managing your blood sugar levels alongside your insulin therapy with Mixtard 30 HM Penfill Injection.

• Regular physical activity is beneficial. Try to incorporate some form of exercise into your daily routine, whether it's walking, yoga, or even dancing. This helps your body use insulin more effectively and keeps blood sugar under control.
