Insunova Description

Insunova-R (Regular): Insunova-R is a soluble, short-acting insulin. It is a sterile, clear solution of human insulin. One (1) IU (International Unit) of insulin is equivalent to human insulin 0.035 mg. It also contains m-cresol 0.25% w/v as a preservative, and water for injection. The cartridge also contains the following excipients: Zinc oxide, glycerol, sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid (for pH adjustment). Insunova-R (Regular) is for SC and IV use only.
Insunova-N (NPH): Insunova-N is an intermediate-acting isophane (NPH) insulin. It is a sterile, cloudy, white, aqueous suspension of human insulin. One (1) IU of insulin is equivalent to human insulin 0.035 mg. It also contains m-cresol 0.16% w/v and phenol 0.065% w/v as preservatives, and water for injection. The cartridge also contains the following excipients: Zinc, glycerol, dibasic sodium phosphate, sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid (for pH adjustment), protamine sulfate. Insunova-N (NPH) is for SC use only and not for IV use.
Insunova-30/70 (Biphasic): Insunova-30/70 is a sterile, cloudy, white, aqueous suspension of human insulin. It is a mixture of biphasic isophane insulin injection containing 30% short-acting insulin solution and 70% immediate-acting isophane (NPH) insulin suspension. One (1) IU of insulin is equivalent to human insulin 0.035 mg. It also contains m-cresol 0.16% w/v and phenol 0.065% w/v as preservatives, and water for injection. The cartridge also contains the following excipients: Zinc, glycerol, dibasic sodium phosphate, sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid (for pH adjustment), protamine sulfate. Insunova-30/70 (Biphasic) is for SC use only and not for IV use.
Insunova-G: Each mL contains insulin glargine (rDNA) 100 IU and m-cresol 2.7 mg as preservative.
Each Insulin glargine is produced in Pichia pastoris by recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology. It also contains the following excipients: Glycerol, metacresol, zinc chloride, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, water for injection, solution for injection 1000 IU (10 mL only).
