About Insutrend 30/70 100IU/ml Cartridge 5x3 ml

As a result, insulin is produced in large amounts, but it cannot act on the organs of the body.

Insutrend 30/70 100IU/ml Cartridge 5x3 ml is a combination of two drugs: Human insulin (a short-acting type of insulin) and Insulin isophane (intermediate-acting).
