Humulin R is a short-acting, human insulin product designed to control high blood sugar in people with diabetes. It aids in the proper absorption of sugar from the blood into other body cells for energy and is used to maintain blood sugar levels within a normal range.

How is this medication used?

Humulin R should be injected subcutaneously, usually 30 minutes before a meal. The dosage depends on the patient's blood sugar levels, diet, and overall health. It's important to rotate injection sites within the same area to avoid skin changes such as thickening or pits.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects include injection site reactions, low blood sugar, itching, and rash. Severe side effects can include allergic reactions such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, and hypoglycemia. If hypoglycemia occurs, it's important to treat it quickly with oral glucose or a high-sugar snack.

What are the potential interactions?

Humulin R can interact with other medications, altering blood sugar levels. These include but are not limited to prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Beta-blockers, diuretics, steroids, and other diabetes medications can affect how well Humulin R works. Patients should inform their healthcare provider about all other medications they are taking.
