Insulin lispro, a synthetic insulin analog, is a component of Insulin Humalog Mix 50/50 Cartridges. Insulin Humalog Mix 50/50 Cartridges contains 50% insulin lispro injection and 50% insulin lispro protamine suspension.

What is the combination of Humalog Mix 50?

Insulin products like the Humalog Mix 50/50 cartridges can help control diabetes. They have both rapid-acting lispro and intermediate-acting lispro protamine insulin already mixed together. Half of the insulin in the mixture is rapid-acting lispro, and the other half is lispro protamine, which has an intermediate-acting half-life.
The goal of combining these two insulins is to give quick and sustained control of blood sugar levels. After a meal, you can use insulin lispro, which acts quickly, to control blood sugar, while insulin lispro protamine, which acts slowly but steadily, can prevent a sharp spike in blood sugar.
To help diabetics more easily and conveniently give their insulin dosages, these cartridges are compatible with insulin pen devices.
Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for dosing and injecting Humalog Mix 50/50 cartridges. It’s also important to keep track of your blood sugar levels so you can modify your insulin dosage as needed and let your doctor know if you’re having any problems.

How does Humalog Mix 50/50 Cartridges work?

Insulin Humalog Mix 50/50 Cartridges combines long-acting Lispro protamine and fast-acting Lispro artificial insulins.

The insulin analogs known as mealtime or bolus insulin include insulin lispro. They begin working immediately and have a rapid onset of effect. Humalog Mix gives you the protection you require against blood sugar increases that happen during and after meals. After the injection, it works in about 15 minutes, reaches peak blood levels in 30 to 70 minutes, and continues to work for around 2 to 5 hours. Take Humalog Mix approximately 15 minutes before your meal. If necessary, take the medication within 20 minutes of the meal’s start.

The class of intermediate-acting insulin analogs includes the long-acting insulin lisproprotamine. Insulin lispro incorporates protamines, tiny proteins, to slow down the onset and extend the duration of the insulin action. The NPH, or isophane insulin, frequently given insulin with a start time of about 90 minutes and a period of about 24 hours, has a similar action profile to insulin lispro protamine.
