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

  • OVERVIEW

    These Cartridges are filled with a mix of 30% Regular insulin and 70% insulin isophane for use with your reusable insulin pen. The regular insulin contained in the mixture is a short-acting, man-made insulin that begins to work in about half an hour and lasts up to eight hours.

  • HOW IT WORKS?

    Novolin GE 30/70 functions the same way naturally occurring human insulin does. In people who have diabetes, some don’t make enough of their own insulin and others cannot use the insulin their body creates properly. Normally insulin is produced by the pancreas, which is a large organ near the stomach. Insulin is important in metabolism, as it controls the breakdown of food, such as fats, proteins and sugars. It promotes the absorption of sugar from out of your blood into fat, liver and skeletal muscle cells, and also blocks your liver’s ability to produce and release sugar back into your blood. If there is no insulin, the sugar is trapped in your bloodstream and cannot enter the cells of your body to be used for energy.

  • DOSAGE

    Always follow the health advice of your doctor or other healthcare professional. When you use Novolin GE 30/70, be sure to eat a meal within 45 minutes. Never use extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.

  • COMMON SIDE EFFECTS

    • Hypoglycemia

    • Serious allergic reaction

    • Local allergic reaction

    • Lipodystrophy

    • Swelling of your hands and feet
