HUMINSULIN 50/50 40IU 10ML VIAL

Huminsulin 50/50 40IU/ml Injection 10 ml is used for the treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps maintain the blood sugar levels in diabetic patients. It is a combination of two drugs, namely: Human insulin (a short-acting type of insulin) and Insulin isophane (intermediate-acting). Huminsulin 50/50 40IU/ml Injection 10 ml suppresses the production of sugar in the liver and facilitates the reuptake of sugar in the fat and muscle cells; thereby Huminsulin 50/50 40IU/ml Injection 10 ml ensures rapid and consistent sugar control.   In Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, the body does not make enough insulin to control blood sugar levels. In Diabetes Mellitus type 2, either the body stops producing enough insulin (the hormone which helps to decrease sugar levels in the blood) or there is resistance to the action of insulin. As a result, insulin is produced in large amounts, but it cannot act on the organs of the body.
