Eglucent Mix 50 Kwikpen

For subcutaneous use only via prefilled KwikPen. Inject as prescribed, typically within 15 minutes before a meal (or immediately after as advised). Do not mix with other insulins in the pen; rotate injection sites (abdomen, thigh, upper arm); prime the pen before each injection and use a new needle each time. Do not use intravenously or in insulin pumps.

This premixed insulin contains insulin lispro (rapid-acting) for controlling post-meal blood sugar spikes and insulin lispro protamine (intermediate-acting) for basal control between meals and overnight. It increases peripheral glucose uptake and reduces hepatic glucose production, lowering blood glucose.

Risk of hypoglycaemia—monitor glucose regularly and carry fast-acting sugar. Use with caution in renal or hepatic impairment and in elderly patients (may need dose adjustment). Do not use during episodes of hypoglycaemia. Switching insulin brand/type or changes in dose, diet, activity, or illness can alter insulin needs—do only under medical supervision. Watch for allergic reactions; rotate sites to reduce lipodystrophy. Use caution while driving/operating machinery if prone to hypoglycaemia.

Other antidiabetic drugs (increased hypoglycaemia risk), ACE inhibitors and salicylates (may increase hypoglycaemia), beta-blockers (may mask hypoglycaemia symptoms), corticosteroids/thyroid hormones/thiazide diuretics/sympathomimetics (may increase glucose and insulin requirement), alcohol (may increase hypoglycaemia), MAO inhibitors (may increase hypoglycaemia)

Store unopened pens refrigerated at 2–8°C; do not freeze; protect from light. After first use, keep at room temperature (below 30°C) away from heat/light and use within 28 days (do not refrigerate if in use). Keep pen capped; discard if frozen or exposed to excessive heat.
