Mixtard 30 FlexPen 100 IU/ml is a prefilled insulin pen designed to manage blood glucose levels in individuals with diabetes. It contains a mixture of two types of insulin: 30% short-acting insulin (Regular) and 70% intermediate-acting insulin (NPH). This combination helps in managing blood sugar levels effectively by covering both immediate and extended insulin needs.

Product Overview:

The Mixtard 30 FlexPen is a user-friendly insulin delivery system that provides a fixed ratio of short-acting and intermediate-acting insulins in a single device. It is designed for those who require a blend of insulin types to achieve better glycemic control throughout the day. The pen is suitable for managing both pre-meal and basal insulin needs with a single, convenient tool.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Combination Insulin: Mixtard 30 FlexPen contains 30% Regular insulin (short-acting) and 70% NPH insulin (intermediate-acting). This combination provides both rapid and sustained glucose control, helping to manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
• Flexible Dosing: The FlexPen allows for precise dosage adjustments, making it easier to tailor insulin delivery to individual needs. This flexibility supports better glycemic control and accommodates variations in daily blood sugar levels.
• Convenient and Discreet: The FlexPen is prefilled and designed for ease of use. Its compact and discreet design allows for convenient administration at home or on the go.
• Accurate Dosing: The pen features an easy-to-read dose dial that ensures accurate delivery of insulin with each injection, reducing the risk of dosing errors.

Directions for Use:

1. Preparation:
   • Check Insulin: Ensure the Mixtard 30 FlexPen contains the correct insulin and is not expired. Before first use or if the pen has not been used for a while, prime the pen to remove any air bubbles and ensure proper insulin flow.
   • Inspect the Insulin: The solution should appear cloudy due to the presence of NPH insulin. Gently roll the pen between your hands to mix it evenly, but do not shake it.
2. Set the Dose:
   • Dial the Dose: Use the dose dial to set the required amount of insulin. The FlexPen allows for precise adjustments based on your healthcare provider’s instructions.
3. Administer the Injection:
   • Select Injection Site: Common injection sites include the abdomen, thighs, or upper arms. Rotate injection sites to prevent irritation and ensure consistent absorption.
   • Inject Insulin: Insert the needle into the skin, press the plunger to deliver the insulin, and hold it in place for a few seconds to ensure the full dose is administered.
4. Post-Injection:
   • Dispose of Needle: Remove the needle and dispose of it properly. The FlexPen should be stored according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically at room temperature or in the refrigerator if not in use.

Packaging:

The Mixtard 30 FlexPen is prefilled with 3 ml of insulin, equivalent to 300 units of insulin. It is available in packs containing one or more pens, depending on the prescribed treatment plan.

Precautions and Side Effects:

• Common Side Effects: Side effects may include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can cause symptoms such as dizziness, sweating, shaking, and confusion. Other potential side effects include injection site reactions, such as redness, swelling, or itching.
• Hypoglycemia: Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is essential to avoid hypoglycemia. Always carry a source of fast-acting glucose to manage low blood sugar episodes promptly.
• Consult Healthcare Provider: Discuss any concerns or side effects with your healthcare provider. They can provide guidance on managing side effects and adjusting insulin doses as needed.
• Allergic Reactions: Although rare, allergic reactions can occur. Seek medical advice if you experience severe reactions, such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the face and throat.
• Storage: Store the Mixtard 30 FlexPen according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Unused pens should be kept in the refrigerator, while used pens can be stored at room temperature. Do not freeze.
