1.
WHAT PROTAPHANE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Protaphane is human insulin with a gradual onset and long duration of
action.
Protaphane is used to reduce the high blood sugar level in patients
with diabetes mellitus (diabetes).
Diabetes is a disease where your body does not produce enough insulin
to control the level of your
blood sugar. Treatment with Protaphane helps to prevent complications
from your diabetes.
Protaphane will start to lower your blood sugar about 1½ hours after
you inject it, and the effect will
last for approximately 24 hours. Protaphane is often given in
combination with fast-acting insulin
preparations.
