Mixtard Biphasic Isophane Insulin Injection

Mixtard Biphasic Isophane Insulin Injection is a premixed insulin medication used to manage diabetes. It combines a rapid-acting insulin (regular insulin) with a long-acting insulin (isophane insulin) to provide both immediate and extended blood sugar control.

Uses: Mixtard Biphasic Isophane Insulin Injection is used to:

• Treat type 1 diabetes
• Treat type 2 diabetes, especially when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient

Important Considerations (Prescription Required):

1. Regular Monitoring: Blood sugar levels should be monitored regularly to adjust the dosage of Mixtard Biphasic Isophane Insulin Injection as needed.
2. Hypoglycemia Risk: Overdosing or injecting insulin into the wrong area can lead to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Carry a source of fast-acting sugar (e.g., glucose tablets) at all times.
3. Allergic Reactions: Allergic reactions to insulin are rare but can occur. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience symptoms such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
