What Is Humalog Mix 25?

Humalog Mix 25 contains 25% insulin lispro solution and 75% insulin lispro protamine suspension. The combination provides both a relatively rapid insulin component and a longer-acting component to help manage blood glucose around meals and between meals.

Uses

Humalog Mix 25 may be prescribed for:

• Management of Type 1 diabetes
• Management of Type 2 diabetes when insulin is required
• Controlling blood glucose levels according to an individualized insulin treatment plan

How It Works

Insulin lispro helps glucose move from the bloodstream into body tissues, where it can be used for energy. The protamine component provides a longer duration of insulin activity.

KwikPen Features

The KwikPen is a disposable, pre-filled insulin delivery device designed to make insulin administration convenient. Each pen contains 3 mL of insulin at 100 IU/mL.

Important Information
