Humalog Mix 25 – 100U/ml Insulin Lispro Mixture (Per Ampoule)

**Humalog Mix 25** is a pre-mixed insulin formulation containing **25% insulin lispro (rapid-acting)** and **75% insulin lispro protamine suspension (intermediate-acting)**. It is used to improve blood sugar control in adults with **type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus**. Each ampoule contains **100 units/ml** of insulin, offering both rapid onset and prolonged action for balanced glucose control throughout the day.

Active Ingredients

• Insulin Lispro 25% – Rapid-acting insulin analogue
• Insulin Lispro Protamine Suspension 75% – Intermediate-acting insulin
• Concentration: 100 units/ml

How It Works

Humalog Mix 25 provides dual-phase insulin activity. The rapid-acting component begins working within 15 minutes to manage mealtime glucose spikes, while the intermediate-acting component maintains basal insulin levels for up to 12–18 hours. This combination mimics the body's natural insulin response more effectively than standard insulin alone.

Indications

• Type 1 diabetes mellitus
• Type 2 diabetes mellitus when oral medications are insufficient
• As part of a basal-bolus or twice-daily insulin regimen

How to Use

Inject **subcutaneously**, typically **15 minutes before a meal**, or as prescribed by your doctor. Use a compatible insulin syringe, pen, or delivery system. Do not shake — roll the ampoule gently to mix. Rotate injection sites to avoid lipodystrophy.

Precautions

• Monitor blood glucose levels regularly
• Store unopened ampoules in the refrigerator (2–8°C); do not freeze
• Opened ampoules may be stored at room temperature and used within 28 days
• Adjust dosage under medical supervision only

Possible Side Effects

• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
• Injection site reactions: redness, swelling, or itching
• Weight gain (common with insulin use)
• Rare: allergic reaction or insulin resistance
