The insulin apart (rys), or “NovoMix® 30”, in NovoMix®30 FlexPen® is a mixture of rapid- and longer-acting insulin. NovoMix® 30 FlexPen® is used to treat diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a condition where your pancreas does not produce enough insulin to control your blood sugar (glucose) level. Extra insulin is therefore needed.
There are two types of diabetes mellitus:
• Type 1 diabetes
• Type 2 diabetes
Patients with type 1 diabetes always require insulin to control their blood sugar levels. Some patients with type 2 diabetes may also require insulin after initial treatment with diet, exercise and tablets. NovoMix® 30 lowers your blood sugar level after injection. When injected under your skin, NovoMix® 30 has a faster onset of action than soluble human insulin. It takes effect within 10 to 20 minutes. The maximum effect will occur between 1-4 hours after injection and the effect may last for up to 24 hours. As with all insulins, the duration of action will vary according to the dose, injection site, blood flow, temperature and level of physical activity. NovoMix® 30 is a pre-mixed neutral suspension consisting of rapid-acting insulin aspart (rys) (30%) and longer-acting
protamine insulin aspart (rys) (70%).
