INSULIN LISPRO PROTAMINE+INSULIN LISPRO belongs to the class of medications called 'antidiabetics' primarily used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In diabetes mellitus type 1, the body does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels (glucose). On the other hand, in diabetes mellitus type 2, either the body stops producing enough insulin (the hormone which helps decrease sugar levels in the blood) or there is resistance to the action of insulin. As a result, insulin is produced in large amounts leading to high blood glucose levels.

Insulin lispro is fast-acting insulin, whereas Insulin lispro protamine is an intermediate-acting insulin. INSULIN LISPRO PROTAMINE+INSULIN LISPRO suppresses the production of sugar in the liver and facilitates the reuptake of sugar in the fat and muscle cells, thereby INSULIN LISPRO PROTAMINE+INSULIN LISPRO ensures rapid and consistent sugar control.
