About Humalog 100IU/ml Kwikpen 3 ml

Humalog 100IU/ml Kwikpen 3 ml is used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a condition that affects how the body processes glucose. In Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, the body does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. On the other hand, in Diabetes Mellitus type 2, either the body stops producing enough insulin (a hormone that helps lower blood sugar levels), or there is resistance to insulin action.

Humalog 100IU/ml Kwikpen 3 ml works similarly to the insulin produced by the body. Humalog 100IU/ml Kwikpen 3 ml stops the liver from producing more sugar and also helps move the sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it can be used for energy. Thereby, Humalog 100IU/ml Kwikpen 3 ml helps control blood sugar levels.

Your doctor will advise you on how to use Humalog 100IU/ml Kwikpen 3 ml. In some cases, you may experience injection site reactions like redness or swelling.
