HUMAN MIXTARD 40IU
₹178.29
Human Mixtard 40IU is an injectable prescription medication containing a combination of insulins, used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps manage blood sugar levels throughout the day by combining both fast-acting and intermediate-acting insulin.
Key Ingredients and Action
Human Mixtard 40IU is a biphasic isophane insulin (recombinant human insulin) formulation that comes in a 10ml vial or pen. The “40IU/ml” indicates its concentration (40 International Units per milliliter).
It contains two types of insulin in a 30/70 ratio:
- Human Insulin (Regular/Soluble – 30%): A short-acting insulin that begins to lower blood sugar levels within 30 minutes to control post-meal sugar spikes.
- Insulin Isophane (NPH/Isophane – 70%): An intermediate-acting insulin that continues to work for an extended period, helping to keep blood sugar levels stable between meals and overnight.
Uses and Benefits
- Blood Sugar Control: Helps maintain consistent blood glucose control in diabetic patients.
- Diabetes Management: Used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan including diet, exercise, and weight management.
- Prevents Complications: By controlling blood sugar levels, it helps prevent long-term complications of diabetes such as diabetic neuropathy or retinopathy.
Important Precautions and Administration
- Prescription Only: Use only under the supervision and guidance of a doctor.
- Administration: Injected subcutaneously (under the skin) in the thigh, upper arm, abdomen, or buttocks.
- Timing: The injection should be administered 30 minutes before a meal.
- Injection Site Rotation: Rotate injection sites within the same general area to reduce the risk of skin thickening or pits (lipodystrophy).
- Storage: Unopened vials must be stored in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C. Do not freeze.
- Do Not Stop Abruptly: Do not stop taking the medicine without consulting your doctor, as symptoms may reoccur.

- Pain, redness, itching, or swelling at the injection site
