How is this medication used?

Use Humulin N KwikPen as directed by your healthcare provider. Typically, it's injected under the skin in the thigh, buttocks, or abdomen. Do not inject into the same spot each time.

What are the potential interactions?

Humulin N KwikPen can interact with other medicines, which can affect how it works or increase the risk of serious side effects. Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Avoid drinking alcohol or using medicines that contain alcohol while using this insulin, as it can change your blood sugar levels.
