Zansulin NPH: Intermediate-Acting Insulin for Diabetes Management

Zansulin NPH is an intermediate-acting insulin designed to help manage blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes. It starts to lower blood sugar about 1½ hours after injection and maintains its effect for approximately 24 hours. This insulin is often used in combination with fast-acting insulin products to provide a balanced approach to diabetes management.

The active ingredient in Zansulin NPH is Insulin Isophane, a biosynthetic human insulin produced through recombinant DNA methods using baker’s yeast. The suspension contains human insulin particles with protamine and zinc, which helps in its slow release and extended action.

For optimal use, it is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and timing as directed by your healthcare provider. Always ensure that the insulin is mixed thoroughly before injection to avoid any uneven distribution of the insulin particles.

Zansulin NPH is available for subcutaneous injection and is a crucial component in maintaining stable blood sugar levels, thereby helping to prevent complications associated with diabetes. Always consult your healthcare provider for specific guidance on using this medication.
