How Does HUMalog 100IU/ml KwikPen Work?
The active ingredient in HUMalog 100IU/ml KwikPen is Insulin Lispro, a fast-acting human insulin analog. It works by helping glucose enter the body’s cells, where it can be used for energy. In people with diabetes, this process is impaired due to insufficient insulin production or insulin resistance.
When injected, HUMalog 100IU/ml KwikPen quickly lowers blood sugar levels by:
- Enhancing glucose uptake in muscle and fat tissues.
- Reducing glucose production in the liver.
- Promoting efficient carbohydrate metabolism post-meal.
This mechanism closely mimics the body’s natural insulin response, helping prevent post-meal hyperglycemia and maintaining steady glucose levels throughout the day.
How to Use HUMalog 100IU/ml KwikPen
- Wash your hands thoroughly before injection.
- Check the insulin inside the pen – it should be clear and colorless.
- Attach a new needle before each use.
- Prime the pen by turning the dose knob and pressing the injection button to remove air bubbles.
