Mixtard 30 HM 40 IU/ml Biphasic Insulin Injection - 1 Vial (10ml)
Managing daily blood sugar spikes after meals while maintaining a steady baseline overnight can require multiple daily injections. Mixtard 30 HM offers a convenient biphasic solution. It is formulated as a sterile clinical injectable solution for acute-hospital administrations[cite: 1]. Containing a pre-mixed combination of 30% fast-acting soluble insulin and 70% intermediate-acting isophane insulin, this formulation provides both immediate mealtime coverage and sustained basal control in a single injection.
How to Use / Operate
Administer strictly under professional supervision according to clinical diagnostic parameters[cite: 1]. Gently roll the vial to mix the cloudy suspension uniformly. Inject subcutaneously, typically once or twice daily, 30 minutes before meals. Ensure you are using U-40 specific insulin syringes to prevent catastrophic dosage errors.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mixtard 30 HM used for?
It is a pre-mixed insulin used to treat diabetes by providing both rapid blood sugar lowering for meals and long-lasting control throughout the day.
Can I use a standard U-100 syringe?
No. You must exclusively use a U-40 insulin syringe with this vial. Using a U-100 syringe will result in a massive overdose or underdose.
Important Clinical Considerations
It is indicated for direct medical-provider utilization during targeted healthcare treatment protocols[cite: 1]. Never inject biphasic insulin intravenously. Rotate injection sites daily to prevent tissue damage (lipodystrophy). Unopened vials must be refrigerated (2°C to 8°C); do not freeze.
