WHAT HUMULIN M3 KWIKPEN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR Humulin M3 KwikPen is a pre-filled pen containing the active substance human insulin, which is used to treat diabetes. You get diabetes if your pancreas does not make enough insulin to control the level of glucose in your blood (blood sugar). Humulin M3 is used to control glucose in the long term. It is a premixed suspension of rapid and long acting insulin. Its action is prolonged by the inclusion of protamine sulfate in the suspension. Your doctor may tell you to use Humulin M3 KwikPen as well as a longer-acting insulin. Each kind of insulin comes with its own patient information leaflet to tell you about it. Do not change your insulin unless your doctor tells you to. Be very careful if you do change insulin. Each type of insulin has a different colour and symbol on the pack and the pen so that you can easily tell the difference. 2.

Method of administration Humulin M3 should be given by subcutaneous injection but may, although not recommended, also be given by intramuscular injection. This formulation should not be administered intravenously. Subcutaneous administration should be in the upper arms, thighs, buttocks or abdomen. Use of injection sites should be rotated so that the same site is not used more than approximately once a month.
