Human Insulatard Injection contains Insulin Isophane/NPH (40 IU), and its activity in the body unfolds as follows:

• Mimics Natural Insulin: Insulin Isophane acts like naturally produced insulin in your body. This hormone enables cells to absorb glucose from your bloodstream, which in turn reduces blood sugar levels.

• Gradual Absorption: Insulin Isophane is slowly absorbed from the injection site after being administered under the skin. This results in a consistent decrease in blood glucose levels over an extended period.

• Extended Duration of Action: Insulin Isophane is an intermediate-acting insulin, meaning it acts slower and lasts longer than regular insulin. It begins to work within 1-2 hours after injection, peaks in 4-12 hours, and remains effective for approximately 12-18 hours. This prolonged action is achieved by combining insulin with protamine, a protein that slows down insulin absorption into the bloodstream.
