HUMALOG 100IU JUNIOR KWIKPEN INJECTION 3ML contains Insulin Lispro (100 IU):

• Mimics natural insulin: Insulin lispro works by imitating the effects of the insulin your body naturally produces, helping to control your blood sugar levels.

• Binds to insulin receptors: After injection, it quickly attaches to special receptors on the surface of your cells, starting a chain of reactions that help move glucose (sugar) from your bloodstream into your cells.

• Increases glucose uptake: It helps your muscle, fat, and liver cells absorb glucose from your blood, which reduces your blood sugar levels.

• Inhibits glucose production: It stops your liver from making additional glucose, which further helps to lower your blood sugar levels.

• Rapid action: Due to its special structure, insulin lispro starts working faster than regular insulin, making it effective for managing blood sugar spikes after meals.

Follow these instructions to store HUMALOG 100IU JUNIOR KWIKPEN INJECTION 3ML:

• Store unopened HUMALOG 100IU JUNIOR KWIKPEN INJECTION 3ML vials in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C.

• Once opened, you can keep the vial at room temperature below 30°C for up to 28 days.

• Protect from direct light and excessive heat. Do not freeze.

• Keep all medicines out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date and discard any unused medicine after 28 days of opening.

• Monitor your carbohydrate intake at meals and snacks to help match your insulin doses and prevent blood glucose fluctuations. Consider working with a dietitian to develop a personalised meal plan.

• Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine, as exercise helps your body use insulin more effectively. Always check your blood glucose before, during, and after exercise to prevent hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar).
