Humulin

Humulin is used by more than 4 million people with diabetes around the world each day. In spite of its name, this insulin does not come from human beings. It is the same in chemical structure to human insulin and is made in a factory using a chemical procedure called recombinant DNA technology. Humulin is manufactured in a special non-disease-producing laboratory of Escherichia coli bacteria that has been genetically distorted to make human insulin.

Humulin N [Human insulin (rDNA origin) isophane suspension] is a crystalline suspension of human insulin with protamine and zinc with a slower beginning action and a longer period of activity (up to 24 hours) than that of Regular human insulin. The time course of needy of any insulin may vary significantly in different individuals or at different times in the same individual. As with all insulin preparations, the duration of action of Humulin N is needed on dose, place of injection, blood supply, temperature, and bodily activity. Humulin N is a germ-free suspension and is for subcutaneous injection only. It should not be used intravenously or intramuscularly. The attentiveness of Humulin N is 100units/mL (U-100).



Humulin is manufactured in an individual non-disease-producing laboratory strain of Escherichia coli bacteria that has been hereditarily distorted by the addition of the genetic material for human insulin manufacture. Humulin R consists of zinc-insulin crystals dissolved in a clear liquid. Humulin R has nothing added to alter the speed or length of its action. It effects quickly and has a comparatively short period of activity (4 to 12 hours) as evaluated with other insulin. The time of course the action of any insulin may vary noticeably in different individuals or at different times in the same individual. As with all insulin measures, the period of action of Humulin R is dependent on dose, site of injection, blood deliver, fever, and physical activity.

Humulin R is a germ-free solution and is for subcutaneous injection. Humulin 70/30 is a combination of 70% Human Insulin Isophane Suspension and 30% Human Insulin Injection (rDNA origin). It is intermediate-acting insulin, with the faster start of action of Regular human insulin. The period of activity may last up to 24 hours. The time course of action of any insulin may vary significantly in different individuals or at different times in the same person. As with all insulin arrangements, the period of action of Humulin 70/30 is needy on dose, site of injection, blood deliver, warmth, and physical activity. Humulin 70/30 is a sterile postponement and is for subcutaneous injection only. It should not be used intravenously or intramuscularly.
