Manufacturer: Nordisk

Novolin NPH vial 10ml (by Novo Nordisk & dispense in Wal-Mart) is an intermediate-acting insulin formulation designed for the management of diabetes mellitus. This 10ml vial contains NPH insulin. It provides a sustained glucose-lowering effect over a longer duration. Suitable for controlling blood sugar levels throughout the day and night. Novolin NPH is indicated for the treatment of adults and children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes who require insulin therapy. It is often used as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan. Which may include dietary modifications, exercise, and other medications.

Features:

NPH insulin is an intermediate-acting insulin that starts to lower blood sugar levels within 1-2 hours after injection. Specifically, its peak effect occurs around 4-12 hours, and it can last up to 24 hours. Consequently, this prolonged action allows for a steady release of insulin, helping to maintain blood glucose levels during periods of fasting and between meals.

Furthermore, the dosage of Novolin NPH should be individualized based on the patient’s specific insulin needs, blood glucose monitoring results, and physician recommendations. It is administered subcutaneously. Usually in the abdominal area or thigh, and can be injected once or twice daily, depending on the patient’s regimen. Additionally, patients should be trained on proper injection techniques to ensure effective absorption.

To ensure the stability and effectiveness of Novolin NPH, the vial should be stored in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Once it is in use, it can be kept at room temperature for up to 28 days. Importantly, avoid freezing the insulin, as this can render it ineffective, and protect it from direct sunlight.
