A mixture of 75% insulin lispro protamine suspension and 25% insulin lispro injection, (rDNA origin), is indicated in the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus for the control of hyperglycemia. A mixture of 50% insulin lispro protamine suspension and 50% insulin lispro injection, (rDNA origin), is also indicated in the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus for the control of hyperglycemia.
Insulin lispro is a short-acting biosynthetic human insulin analogue. Insulin lispro protamine is an intermediate-acting glucose-lowering agent; it is a suspension of crystals produced from combining insulin lispro and protamine sulfate under appropriate conditions for crystal formation. They are used together for the regulation of glucose metabolism.
Combination rapid-onset (faster than regular insulin) and intermediate-acting insulins in fixed dose. Dose regimen varies among patients depending on metabolic needs; typical daily insulin requirements range between 0.5-1 unit/kg
Hypoglycaemia; hypokalemia, oedema; pruritus; pulpitation, nausea, rash; hypersensitivity reactions; lipoatropy or lipohypertrophy with SC Inj.
Always consult a registered doctor before taking any medicine. This information is for general knowledge only.
Insulin Lispro Protamine & Insulin Lispro is contraindicated during episodes of hypoglycemia and in patients sensitive to insulin lispro or any of the excipients contained in the formulation
Effects may be increased by: oral antidiabetic agents, ACE inhibitors, disopyramide, fibrates, fluoxetine, MAOIs, propoxyphene, salicylates, somatostatin analog (e.g., octreotide), sulfonamide antibiotics. Effects may be decreased by: corticosteroids, niacin, danazol, diuretics, sympathomimetic agents, isoniazid, phenothiazine derivatives, somatropin, thyroid hormones, oral contraceptives, lithium. Signs of hypoglycaemia may be masked by beta-blockers, clonidine.
Renal or hepatic impairment; pregnancy, lactation; transferring from other insulin. Monitor serum glucose, potassium, electrolytes, HbA1c and lipid profile. Concomitant illness esp infections.
