Novomix 30 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml is a combination of rapid-acting human insulin and longer-acting insulin analogue to treat diabetes mellitus in children (above 2 years of age) and adults. It maintains blood sugar levels in adults and children. Diabetes mellitus is a condition that affects the way your body processes glucose. In Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, the body does not make enough insulin to control blood sugar levels. In Diabetes Mellitus type 2, either the body stops producing enough insulin (the hormone which helps to decrease sugar levels in the blood), or there is resistance to insulin action. As a result, insulin is produced in large amounts, but it cannot act on the organs of the body.
Novomix 30 100IU/ml Penfill 3 ml is a combination medicine that contains insulin aspart (rapid-acting), and the other is insulin aspart protamine (longer-acting). Insulin aspart has a fast onset of action, and insulin aspart protamine has a prolonged duration of action. Together, they ensure rapid and stable sugar control by enabling the reuptake of sugar in muscle and fat cells and decreasing sugar production in the liver.
