Additional Information for Isophane And Insulin Injection Suspension Insulin
Isophane and Insulin Injection Suspension is a type of insulin medication used to control blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes. It belongs to the supply class Drugs and Biologicals, which includes medications and biological substances used for medical purposes.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood. In individuals with diabetes, the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not effectively use the insulin it produces. Isophane and Insulin Injection Suspension is a type of insulin that is designed to provide a longer-lasting effect compared to regular insulin.
Isophane insulin, also known as NPH insulin, is a suspension of insulin crystals combined with protamine. This combination allows for a slower and more prolonged release of insulin into the bloodstream. It typically has an onset of action within 1-2 hours, peaks in 4-12 hours, and lasts for approximately 18-24 hours.
Isophane and Insulin Injection Suspension is administered through subcutaneous injection, usually into the fatty tissue just under the skin. It is important to follow the instructions provided by a healthcare professional on how to properly administer the medication.
It is worth noting that Isophane and Insulin Injection Suspension is just one type of insulin available on the market. There are various other types of insulin with different onset, peak, and duration characteristics. The choice of insulin therapy depends on individual needs and should be determined by a healthcare professional.
In summary, Isophane and Insulin Injection Suspension is a type of insulin medication used to manage blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes. It is part of the supply class Drugs and Biologicals in the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.
