Humalog Mix25 KwikPen is a pre-filled pen designed for the administration of insulin. It contains a mixture of fast-acting and intermediate-acting insulin, specifically 25% insulin lispro (a rapid-acting insulin) and 75% insulin lispro protamine (an intermediate-acting insulin). This combination helps in managing blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes, providing both immediate and prolonged insulin action to control blood sugar throughout the day.

How is this medication used?

Before using Humalog Mix25 KwikPen, shake the pen gently to mix the insulin. The pen is injected subcutaneously, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. The dosage and timing should be determined by your healthcare provider, based on your blood glucose levels, diet, exercise, and other factors. It's often injected within 15 minutes before a meal or immediately after a meal.

What are the possible side effects?

Possible side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), allergic reactions at the injection site, weight gain, swelling in your arms and legs, and in rare cases, systemic allergic reactions. Hypoglycemia is the most common side effect and can be dangerous, so it's important to recognize symptoms such as dizziness, sweating, confusion, and shakiness, and treat them promptly.

What are the potential interactions?

Humalog Mix25 KwikPen can interact with other medications, altering blood sugar levels. These include but are not limited to, drugs that increase blood sugar (such as steroids), decrease blood sugar (like other antidiabetics), beta-blockers, and alcohol. Monitoring blood glucose levels is critical when using other drugs alongside insulin. Always consult with your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking.
