About Eglucent Mix 25 100IU/ml Injection 5 x 3 ml

Eglucent Mix 25 100IU/ml Injection 5 x 3 ml is used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In diabetes mellitus type 1, the body does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels (glucose). On the other hand, in diabetes mellitus type 2, either the body stops producing enough insulin (the hormone which helps decrease sugar levels in the blood) or there is resistance to the action of insulin. As a result, insulin is produced in large amounts, leading to high blood glucose levels.

Eglucent Mix 25 100IU/ml Injection 5 x 3 ml contains Insulin lispro and insulin lispro protamine. Insulin lispro is fast-acting insulin, whereas Insulin lispro protamine is an intermediate-acting insulin. Eglucent Mix 25 100IU/ml Injection 5 x 3 ml suppresses the production of sugar in the liver and facilitates the reuptake of sugar in the fat and muscle cells; thereby, Eglucent Mix 25 100IU/ml Injection 5 x 3 ml ensures rapid and consistent sugar control. 

Your doctor will advise you on how to use the Eglucent Mix 25 100IU/ml Injection 5 x 3 ml.
