Diabetes mellitus (Type 1 and Type 2) requiring insulin; control of blood glucose levels in patients needing a premixed insulin regimen

How Xsulin 30/70 Vial 40IU Works

This is a premixed human insulin containing 30% short-acting (soluble) insulin for meal-time glucose control and 70% intermediate-acting (NPH/isophane) insulin for basal control. It lowers blood glucose by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and reducing hepatic glucose production.

Dosage & Directions

For subcutaneous injection only as advised by a doctor (commonly 1–2 times daily, about 30 minutes before meals). Use a sterile insulin syringe calibrated for 40 IU/mL (U-40). Roll the vial gently between palms to resuspend (do not shake) until uniformly milky; check for clumps. Rotate injection sites; do not inject into a vein.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
