Novolin GE 50 / 50 Penfill Cartridge (Human Insulin)

Novolin GE 50 / 50 Penfill Cartridges Drug Info (Pack with 5 cartridges x 3 mL each)

• OVERVIEW

  Novolin GE 50/50 PenFill Cartridges are filled with a mix of 50% Regular human insulin and 50% NPH insulin suspension for your reusable insulin pen. Both are man-made insulin solutions, which have a similar effect and action as naturally occurring human insulin does.

• HOW IT WORKS?

  Novolin GE 50/50 mix has been created to have a very similar action to that of naturally occurring human insulin. The specific activity profile of the 50/50 mix is a result of the mixture of both the Regular and NPH insulin. It combines the fast-acting onset of regular insulin, which begins to work in 30 minutes, along with the intermediate-acting duration of NPH insulin, which can last up to 24 hours.

• DOSAGE

  Always follow the health advice of your doctor or other healthcare professional.
