-
NovoMix 30 contains both fast-acting and intermediate-acting insulins, allowing for both quick blood sugar control after meals and sustained blood sugar management between meals.

How to use
NovoMix 30 Penfill Cartridge is typically used with a compatible insulin pen. You attach the cartridge to the pen and dial the required dose. Always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or on the packaging.
How It works
Mixing soluble insulin aspart with insulin aspart protamine allows for a combination of rapid and prolonged insulin effects. This mimics the natural insulin release pattern more closely, providing better blood sugar control throughout the day.
What if you forget to take?
Check your blood glucose and consult with a Physician for next dose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the only insulin mixture available?
No, there are other insulin mixtures available with different ratios of rapid-acting and intermediate-acting components. The choice of mixture depends on the patient's specific diabetes management needs.
What is soluble insulin aspart?
Soluble insulin aspart is a fast-acting insulin analog that is designed to help control blood sugar levels after meals. It starts working quickly and has a shorter duration of action.
What is insulin aspart protamine?
Insulin aspart protamine is an intermediate-acting insulin analog. It has a slower onset of action compared to soluble insulin aspart, and its effects last longer. It's often used to provide basal insulin coverage between meals and during the night.
