Humulin N Dosage

Important Administration Instructions

Inspect HUMULIN N visually before use. It should not contain particulate matter and should appear uniformly cloudy after mixing. Do not use HUMULIN N if particulate matter is seen.

Route of Administration

HUMULIN N should only be administered subcutaneously.

Administer in the subcutaneous tissue of the abdominal wall, thigh, upper arm, or buttocks. To reduce the risk of lipodystrophy, rotate the injection site within the same region from one injection to the next.

Do not administer HUMULIN N intravenously or intramuscularly and do not use HUMULIN N in an insulin infusion pump.

Dosage Information

Individualize and adjust the dosage of HUMULIN N based on the individual's metabolic needs, blood glucose monitoring results and glycemic control goal.

Dosage adjustments may be needed with changes in physical activity, changes in meal patterns (i.e., macronutrient content or timing of food intake), changes in renal or hepatic function or during acute illness.

Dosage Adjustment due to Drug Interactions

Dosage adjustment may be needed when HUMULIN N is coadministered with certain drugs.

Dosage adjustment may be needed when switching from another insulin to HUMULIN N.
