About Huminsulin 50/50 40IU/ml Injection
Huminsulin 50/50 40IU/ml Injection used for the treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It maintains blood sugar levels in adults and children. In Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, the body does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. In type 2 diabetes mellitus, either the body stops producing enough insulin (a hormone that helps lower blood sugar levels) or there is resistance to the action of insulin. As a result, insulin is produced in large quantities, but it is unable to function properly on the body's organs.
Huminsulin 50/50 40IU/ml Injection is a combination medicine that works by promoting the recovery of sugar in muscle and fat cells and suppressing sugar production in the liver. Together, Huminsulin 50/50 40IU/ml Injection confirms rapid and stable sugar control.
