Why Choose Humulin N KwikPen (Human Insulin)?
- Pre-filled Pen: The KwikPen is pre-filled with 3 mL of Humulin N insulin (100 units/mL), totaling 300 units per pen. Each box contains 5 pens, offering a total of 1500 units of insulin.
- Ease of Use: Designed with user convenience in mind, it features an easy-to-turn dose selector, a large dose window, and a push-button injection. This design ensures accurate dosing and ease of administration.
- Fine Needle for Comfort: The pen is compatible with a range of needle sizes, and we recommend ultra-thin BD needles for a more comfortable injection experience.

- No Refrigeration Needed After First Use: Once in use, the pen does not require refrigeration and can be stored at room temperature, making it convenient for everyday use.
How to Use Humulin N KwikPen (Human Insulin)?
- Dose Individualization: Each patient’s insulin needs are unique. Humulin N dosage should be determined and adjusted by your healthcare provider, taking into account your current blood sugar levels, diet, and exercise regimen.
- Administration: Humulin N should be injected subcutaneously in the upper arms, thighs, buttocks, or abdomen. Rotating the injection site within the same region from one injection to the next is important to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy.
- Timing: It is typically injected up to 30 minutes before the first meal of the day. The timing may vary based on your treatment plan as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Important Safety Information about Humulin N Kwikpen
- Do Not Share: Each KwikPen is for single-patient use only. Sharing pens poses a risk of infection transmission.
- Before Use: Keep unused pens in the refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Avoid freezing; frozen pens must be discarded.
- After First Use: Store the pen at room temperature below 30°C (86°F). Discard 28 days after initial use, even if it still contains insulin.
