Brand Name(s)
Humulin

What is this medication used for
Humulin is prescribed for diabetes mellitus when diet modifications and oral medications fail to correct the condition. Humulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, a large gland that lies near the stomach. This hormone is necessary for the body's correct use of food, especially sugar. Humulin apparently works by helping sugar penetrate the cell wall, where it is then utilized by the cell.

Availability
Humulin insulin is available by prescription only.

How this medicine should be used
Take your insulin exactly as prescribed, being careful to follow your doctor's dietary and exercise recommendations. Before taking your injection, carefully read and follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to prepare your prefilled pen or syringe.
--If you miss a dose...
Your doctor should tell you what to do if you miss an insulin injection or meal.

What are the side effects
While side effects from insulin use are rare, allergic reactions or low blood sugar (sometimes called "an insulin reaction") may pose significant health risks. Your doctor will advise you of possible side effects and what to watch for.

What special precautions are there
Do not change the type of insulin or even the model and brand of syringe or needle you use without your physician's instruction. Failure to use the proper syringe may lead to improper dosage levels of insulin. To avoid infection or contamination, use disposable needles and syringes.  Always keep handy an extra supply of insulin as well as a spare syringe and needle.

Overdose - what to do
Contact Laguna Hills Animal Hospital (949-837-7333) or, if after hours, Animal Urgent Care (949-364-6228).

How should I store this medication
--Storage instructions...
Store insulin in a refrigerator (but not in the freezer) or in another cool, dark place. Do not expose insulin to heat or direct sunlight.  Check your product's label. Never use insulin after the expiration date which is printed on the label and carton.  Keep this medication out of the reach of children and pets.
