How it works

Novomix 30 is a premixed insulin containing rapid-acting insulin aspart and intermediate-acting insulin aspart protamine. It replaces/augments endogenous insulin to help glucose enter cells and reduces glucose production by the liver, providing both mealtime and basal glucose control.

Directions for use

For subcutaneous use only using the FlexPen; inject into abdomen, thigh, upper arm or buttock and rotate sites. Usually taken with meals—inject immediately before a meal (can be given soon after starting the meal if needed) as advised by the doctor. Do not mix with other insulins in the pen; do not use intravenously or in insulin pumps. Prime the pen and use a new needle each time; follow glucose monitoring and dose titration prescribed.
