WHAT MIXTARD IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Mixtard is human insulin with both a fast-acting and a long-acting
effect.
Mixtard 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 Mixtard helps to prevent complications
from your diabetes.
Mixtard will start to lower your blood sugar about 30 minutes after
you inject it, and the effect will last
for approximately 24 hours.
