Novolin GE 50 / 50 Penfill Cartridges Drug Info (Pack with 5 cartridges x 3 mL each)

  • OVERVIEW

    Novolin GE 50/50 PenFill Cartridges are filled with a mix of 50% Regular human insulin and 50% NPH insulin suspension for your reusable insulin pen. Both are man-made insulin solutions, which have a similar effect and action as naturally occurring human insulin does.

  • HOW IT WORKS?

    Novolin GE 50/50 mix has been created to have a very similar action to that of naturally occurring human insulin. The specific activity profile of the 50/50 mix is a result of the mixture of both the Regular and NPH insulin. It combines the fast-acting onset of regular insulin, which begins to work in 30 minutes, along with the intermediate-acting duration of NPH insulin, which can last up to 24 hours.

  • DOSAGE

    Always follow the health advice of your doctor or other healthcare professional.


    It is likely that you will not be on a strict time-based dosing schedule with Novolin GE 40/60, but make sure to eat a meal within 45 minutes of self-administration. Do not use more medicine than needed to make up for a previously forgotten dose.

  • COMMON SIDE EFFECTS

    • Injection region reactions

    • Headache

    • Tingling of lips and tongue

    • Hunger

    • Sweating
