Overview
Ansulin 30/70 contains a biphasic mixture of Regular Insulin Human (30%) and Isophane Insulin Human (70%), manufactured by Square Pharmaceuticals PLC. It combines rapid and intermediate-acting insulin to control both postprandial and basal blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus.
Dosage and Administration
Dose is individualized based on blood glucose monitoring, usually given subcutaneously once or twice daily, 30 minutes before meals. Injection sites should be rotated to prevent lipodystrophy.
Interaction
Beta-blockers, MAO inhibitors, and alcohol may potentiate hypoglycaemic effects. Corticosteroids, thiazide diuretics, and oral contraceptives may increase blood glucose and reduce insulin's effect.
Contraindications
Contraindicated in patients with hypoglycaemia and known hypersensitivity to insulin human or any excipient.
Side Effects
Hypoglycaemia is the most common side effect. Injection site reactions, lipodystrophy, and rarely allergic reactions may occur.
Pregnancy and Lactation
Insulin is the treatment of choice for diabetes during pregnancy and lactation; dose may need adjustment under medical supervision.
Precautions and Warnings
Should not be used if the suspension does not appear uniformly white and cloudy after mixing. Resuspend by gently rolling the vial before each dose. Monitor blood glucose regularly.
Storage Conditions
Store in a refrigerator (2-8°C); do not freeze. Once in use, may be kept below 30°C for up to 4 weeks, away from direct heat and light.
