Novomix 50 Prefilled Pen 100iu/Ml

NovoMix 50 is a biphasic insulin, which contains 50% soluble insulin aspart. This has a rapid onset of action, thus allowing it to be given closer to a meal (within zero to 10 minutes of the meal) when compared to soluble human insulin. The crystalline phase (50%) consists of protamine-crystallised insulin aspart, which has an activity profile similar to that of human NPH insulin. When NovoMix 50 is injected subcutaneously, the onset of action will occur within 10 to 20 minutes of injection. The maximum effect is exerted between 1 and 4 hours after injection. The duration of action is 14 to 24 hours
