Description:
Humalog Mix 25 KwikPen is a pre-mixed insulin analog used to control blood sugar in people with diabetes. It contains a combination of 25% insulin lispro, which is a rapid-acting insulin that starts working quickly after injection, and 75% insulin lispro protamine suspension, which is an intermediate-acting insulin that provides longer-lasting blood sugar control.
This combination aims to provide both mealtime coverage and basal (background) insulin coverage with a single injection. Humalog Mix 25 is administered subcutaneously (under the skin) and is usually given 15 minutes before a meal. The dosage is individualized based on blood glucose monitoring and the patient’s needs, as determined by their healthcare provider.
Common side effects of insulin include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), injection site reactions (redness, swelling, itching), and lipodystrophy (changes in fat tissue at the injection site). Patients using Humalog Mix 25 KwikPen must be trained on proper injection technique and be aware of the symptoms and management of hypoglycemia.
