WHAT NOVOMIX 30 IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
NovoMix 30 is a modern insulin (insulin analogue) with both a
rapid-acting and an intermediate-acting
effect, in the ratio 30/70. Modern insulin products are improved
versions of human insulin.
NovoMix 30 is used to reduce the high blood sugar level in adults,
adolescents and children aged
10 years and above with diabetes mellitus (diabetes). Diabetes is a
disease where your body does not
produce enough insulin to control the level of your blood sugar.
NovoMix 30 will start to lower your blood sugar 10–20 minutes after
you inject it, the maximum
effect occurs between 1 and 4 hours after the injection, and the
effect lasts for up to 24 hours.
In treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, NovoMix 30 may be used in
combination with tablets for
diabetes and/or with injectable antidiabetic products.
