Humalog Mix75/25 Dosage

General Information on Your Humalog Mix75/25 Dose

Some considerations for people taking Humalog Mix75/25 include the following:

This diabetes medication comes in injectable form. It is injected just under the skin (subcutaneously) immediately before meals, within 15 minutes before you start eating. Typically, it is taken twice a day.
This insulin comes in vials or in two different pen injection devices (Humalog Mix75/25 Pens or KwikPens™). To use the vials, you will need insulin syringes with needles attached. To use the pen devices, you will need specific types of needles known as "pen needles." Either way, each time you inject the insulin, you will need to use a new needle.
Humalog Mix75/25 comes as a suspension that settles between doses. You must "resuspend" the insulin before each injection. For the vials, shake or rotate them until the insulin is uniformly cloudy. For the pens, make sure to follow the instructions specific to your particular pen device.
Your healthcare provider should show you exactly how to inject Humalog Mix75/25. It can be injected into the skin and fat layer of the abdomen (stomach), upper arm, or thigh. Choose one of these three areas, and rotate injection sites within your chosen area.
Never mix this insulin with any other insulin in the same syringe.
For this diabetes drug to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. It will not work if you stop taking it. Make sure to monitor your blood sugar levels as your healthcare provider recommends.
If you are unsure about anything related to your Humalog Mix75/25 dosage, please talk with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
