Insulin aspart/ Protaminated aspart

Cartridge/ Pre-filled syringe:

• 70/30 (70% protaminated insulin aspart, 30% insulin aspart)

• Administer subcutaneously in the abdominal area, thigh, upper arm or buttocks.
• Rotate injection sites to avoid lipodystrophy.
• Can be injected within 15 minutes before a meal.
• Store unopened insulin in the refrigerator.
• Once opened, it can be stored at room temperature for up to 28 days.

Insulin Aspart:  Rapid-acting insulin analog. It mimics the body’s natural insulin response to meals. It lowers blood glucose levels by enhancing the uptake of glucose into muscle and fat cells and suppressing liver glucose production.

Protaminated Insulin Aspart: An intermediate-acting insulin. It provides prolonged, basal insulin action by forming a crystalline suspension with protamine, which delays its absorption and offers extended blood glucose control throughout the day.
