Humalog Vial (Insulin Lispro)
Humalog Vial (Insulin Lispro) is a rapid-acting insulin that controls high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes mellitus. This insulin analogue is designed to mimic the body’s natural insulin response to meals, providing a quick onset of action to manage blood glucose levels effectively.
Why Choose Humalog Vial (Insulin Lispro)?
- Rapid-Acting Formula: Begins to work within 15 minutes after injection, achieving peak activity at approximately 1 to 2 hours, and continues to work for 2 to 4 hours, making it ideal for controlling blood sugar spikes after meals.
- Flexible Administration: Can be administered just before or after meals, offering flexibility to fit into your daily schedule and meal plan.
- Compatible with Long-Acting Insulin: This can be used in combination with a longer-acting insulin for comprehensive diabetes management.
How to Use Humalog Vial (Insulin Lispro)?
- Consult Your Healthcare Provider: Always start or adjust your insulin regimen under medical supervision to find the best dosage for you.
- Preparing the Dose: Inspect the vial to ensure the insulin appears clear and colorless. Do not use it if it is cloudy, colored, or contains particles.
- Injection: Can be administered subcutaneously (under the skin) in the abdomen, thigh, buttocks, or upper arm. Rotate injection sites to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy.
- Dosage: Your dosage and timing will be determined by your healthcare provider, based on your blood glucose monitoring, meal plan, and physical activity.
